Sorry, I have to correct you. MPA3 does not have a built in shave feature and i've been over it with a fine tooth comb. You are confusing it with an earlier version of MPA. The shave feature was totally removed. And, just for the record. Any software can be modified regardless of whether it's NATS, MPA or whatever and if you don't believe that all you have to do is dissect the code and scrutinize the day to day operations of various software and at what point it breaks down and becomes a less viable solution for businesses.
You also have to remember that shaving comes in all forms. It can be done without the program's consent or knowledge. For instance a program could be "tied" into a 3rd party biller only to discover that the revenue earned by affiliates isn't properly being dispersed. Sometimes it isn't dishonesty that causes shaving it's an incompetence factor on the programmer's/developers end. It's the operators of the software and the program's trustworthiness that dictates the implementation and use of a shave feature. Many programs using MPA2 never used the shave feature and some even had it totally removed. So, to blacklist a company for features in a software from the past is rediculous.
However, I can understand your concerns but you can rest assured that our books are totally open to the public for scrutiny at any time because we have filed with the SEC to become a publicly traded company and that requires us to give access to our accounting and reconciliations. We also invite anyone that would like to see our admin or program in person to contact us for directions to our office. Unfortunately we can't give access remotely because of security issues but we will gladly host any of you as our guest to review our entire program.
