Level 3 Processing Benefits
How does Level 3 processing provide so much value to companies that accept credit cards from other businesses and government and in some cases adding up to 1.5% of new revenue to their profit margins they cant receive from a processor?
To understand the value in Level 3 processing remember why banks issue credit cards in the first place. Aside from the interest banks earn for their cards used in the marketplace, they earn 100% of the interchange fees businesses pay to accept credit card. Credit card processors earn no revenue whatsoever from interchange.
What the banks and credit card processing companies may not have told you is that for business-to-business and government purchases, the interchange fees fall into one of 3 processing categories — Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 – with 1 being the highest rates and 3 being the lowest.
Each level is determined by additional transaction detail included with a transaction. Example, Level 3 or line item detail is information you would typically find on an invoice. PO#, descriptions etc. Level 1, means you either swipe or key the card, maybe enter a zip code with no additional transaction detail.
It’s regrettable that many businesses are unaware of the advantages that correct processing solutions can present.
Level 3 processing benefits can lower a business’s discount rate by as much as 1.0% – 1.5% when compared to non-Level 3 processing, and depending upon the card type and the size of the transaction.
