Credit Card Discount Rates are affected by several variables:
1. Merchant type
eMerchant will use the most favorable Merchant Category Code (MCC code) that is allowed for your business, so you’ll get the greatest benefits from your merchant account. For example, utility companies and supermarkets receive preferred rates from the Card Associations.
2. Transaction type
Internet sales or “keyed in” transactions are considered to be riskier than retail or “card present” transactions by the Card Associations, and are typically charged a higher discount rate.
3. Card being used
Debit cards that are used as credit cards will cost the merchant less than, for example credit cards that are rewards-based.
4. Business volume
The more money that your company processes, the greater leverage your merchant account provider has when negotiating with the banks for favorable rates.
eMerchant has specialized in secure, reliable and low-cost payment processing for small and large businesses since 2002. In addition to low rates, high approvals and easy, seamless integration, we offer our clients individualized service with their own account manager that specially designs our payment solutions to meet their company’s unique needs. Our exclusive pricing, technical expertise and commitment to the businesses we serve is what sets us apart from other online payment companies.
