  • What are your rates?
    We don’t use set rates. We prefer to use Interchange wholesale pricing on all of our accounts. Interchange guarantees your business the cheapest possible way to run a transaction. This pricing model works by adding a constant margin onto the underlying interchange-rate. It’s widely considered the fairest model in the industry.
  • What is interchange?
    For every credit and debit card that exists, there is a pre-set rate that the MSP(Merchant Service Provider) pays to the issuing bank. This is often referred to as the Interchange rate, credit card Interchange rates or Interchange pricing. You will discover Interchange rates correlate with the cost that each bank has for these cards.
  • What does the new chip card/EMV (Europay, MasterCard and Visa) mean for my business?"
    As of Oct 1, 2015 Master Card, Visa and American Express shifted over card-present liablity to whomever is the least EMV compliant party in a fraudulent transaction. ​ Switching to a system that is compliant with EMV cards is a smart thing to do. The new chip cards create a unique code for each sales transaction that cannot be used again, making it virtually impossible for fraudsters to create a counterfeit card with stolen data.
