Maximize Savings:
Advanced Interchange Optimization
Interchange fees represent the largest component of credit card processing costs, typically accounting for 70% or more of your total expenses. These are the fees paid to the card-issuing banks. Our advanced interchange optimization strategies focus on meticulously refining your payment processes and data capture, ensuring each transaction qualifies for the lowest possible interchange rate. This leads to significant, sustainable savings and improved cash flow for your business.
The Complex World of Interchange Fees
Interchange fees are set by card networks (Visa, Mastercard, Discover, Amex) and vary widely based on numerous factors: card type (debit, credit, rewards, corporate, international), transaction method (card-present, online, keyed-in), merchant category code (MCC), transaction amount, and how quickly transactions are settled. Navigating the hundreds of potential interchange categories and their associated rates is incredibly complex. Without specific knowledge and optimized systems, many businesses unknowingly pay higher interchange fees than necessary, directly impacting their profitability.
