How we do it!
Believe it or not, 75%-90% of the fees you pay to accept credit cards goes back to the credit card issuer, not your processor. This is referred to as “interchange”. Interchange is the same regardless of the processor you choose. From the smallest bank to the largest processor. Interchange is the same.
Banks issue credit cards because they receive interchange (up to 90% of your fee) on transactions and purchases made with their issued cards.
Very Important!
Commercial and government cards qualify at 1 of 3 interchange levels. Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3, These interchange levels vary based on transactional data (line item detail) you include with the transaction.
Qualifying for Level 2 and Level 3 (interchange) rates:
Level 2:
Tax amount between 1%-22% and invoice number or customer code
= Lower interchange rates up to .50% on Visa Business Cards.
Level 3:
Information you generally find on an invoice that is passed with a credit card transaction i.e.: invoice number, tax amount, item description, quantity and unit of measure, freight amount, commodity & product codes.
=Lower interchange rates from .85%-1.5%
Only transactions including level 2 or level 3 detail are eligible for these reduced “interchange rates”. Accept any commercial, business, purchase, fleet, corporate or government card w/o and you lose up to 1.5% of potential (interchange) revenue that has nothing to do with your processor or your rate.
