For a large number of businesses credit card fees can often rank in the top 5 of all expenses. Credit card fees are a common cause of concern and frustration. Despite what most businesses owners have been led to believe, the bulk of the fees a business pays to accept credit cards, goes right back to the bank that issued the credit card. Not a processor.
Interchange fees amount to 75%-90% of a business’s total expense.
Interchange optimization along with Level II and level III processing can significantly reduce the fees you pay to accept commercial and government transactions.commercial, & government credit cards fall into 1 of 3 different interchange categories. Level 1, level 2 or level 3. The higher the level the lower the interchange rate you pay.
