My dad is looking for something similar to Square (or a card reader that connects to bank accounts) for a small business with no fees if possible. Any suggestions? Kind of a long shot

You’re welcome. Everyone is looking for something for nothing.

Ask yourself the question, if there was a no fee version, what would they be harvesting from the transaction to cover their costs? I doubt it would be anything your dad would want to give.

Tell him to also look into using cashup or Venmo as well. They are very popular now and a lot of people use them.
I personally don't feel comfortable swiping my card in those little readers.

He looked into Venmo but this is catering to an older crowd. I may suggest it again and see if he’ll give it a whirl

That was my thought as well. I think he was hoping something existed where he could buy the card reader up front and then connect it to a bank account to cut out the need for a full POS system

Even if you buy the card reader up front, you still are going to pay transaction fees since those are imposed by the credit card networks.

ShopKeep might be cheaper, but not free
