The MAPF program was created to help ease part of that burden by reimbursing<strong> 30% to 75%<\/strong> of eligible monthly authorization processing fees, with total reimbursement of up to <strong>$35,000 <\/strong>per approved business.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Rather than introducing another financing option, the program focuses on helping qualified businesses reduce an existing operating cost.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Who Can Apply?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>MAPF<\/strong> is available to eligible U.S. businesses with 100 employees or fewer that primarily operate in the United States. Applicants must also demonstrate that suitable financing is not reasonably available through non-federal, non-state, and non-local government sources. Agricultural businesses are not eligible.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Applying for MAPF<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Applications are submitted through DFR&#8217;s secure online merchant portal. The process includes digital identity verification followed by an electronic signature from an authorized business representative to complete the application.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">All application updates are delivered directly to the registered business email address to help protect applicant information throughout the review process.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>More Information<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Businesses interested in learning more about eligibility requirements and the application process can visit <a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"K5st7 zo3Wy\" href=\"http:\/\/dfr-us.com\/rebate-mapf\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">dfr-us.com\/rebate-mapf<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style='font-size:18px !important;'>Media Contact<\/span><br \/><strong>Company Name:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/companyname\/dfr-us.com_177638.html\" rel=\"nofollow\">Department of Financial Recovery<\/a><br \/><strong>Email:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/email_contact_us.php?pr=dfr-launches-mapf-to-recover-payment-processing-costs-for-eligible-us-small-businesses\" rel=\"nofollow\">Send Email<\/a><br \/><strong>Country:<\/strong> United States<br \/><strong>Website:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dfr-us.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/www.dfr-us.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/press_stat.php?pr=dfr-launches-mapf-to-recover-payment-processing-costs-for-eligible-us-small-businesses\" alt=\"\" width=\"1px\" height=\"1px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As operating costs continue to challenge small businesses across the United States, the Department of Financial Recovery (DFR) has introduced the Monthly Authorization Processing Fee (MAPF) program.
