What is Interchange?

When a customer uses a credit or debit card to make a purchase, your business is charged a transaction fee, collected for your customer's card issuer. A portion of this transaction fee - often a percentage of the transaction amount, plus a fixed fee - is the interchange fee. Interchange rates and fees for acceptance are set by the Card Brand Networks - Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express – and they are updated annually in April and October.

We offer exceptionally low payment processing rates and your Costco membership opens you up to more exclusive rates.
