Implement these Best Practices for Accepting Government Purchase Cards
Most vendors have been set up to accept standard consumer related credit cards vs commercial and purchase cards. This is unknowingly cutting into a vendors profit margin, on average by 1%-1.5%
Credit card processors receive no incentive for offering you level 3 processing, nor are they required to make sure that contractors are properly set up to accept credit cards in the most efficient and economical matter.
It has been our experience that the vast majority of contractors (75 to 80%) that engage in B2B and B2G processing are not aware of or properly set-up to take advantage of MasterCard and Visa’s special rates on the Corporate and Purchase Card programs.
