Visa and MasterCard have very specific rules when it comes to payment acceptance procedures. When a purchase is made on a credit card it goes through a qualification process based on specific data requirements that are set forth by Visa and MasterCard. These data requirements are divided into three Levels (Level 1, 2, and 3.) and help determine the interchange rate that the transaction qualifies for.
Visa and MasterCard want this additional data because it helps them be more efficient. So, as an incentive they offer a lower, discounted rate to merchants who provide the additional data. Interchange Optimization simply gives your business the best chance at qualifying for the lowest interchange rate every single time.

It’s easy to identify whether or not your business will benefit from Interchange Optimization. Look at the interchange section on your merchant statement. Pay attention to words like Commercial (COMM), Corporate (CORP), Business (BUS), Purchasing (PURCH), Fleet (FLT), EIRF, and Non-Qualified (Non Qual). If a large percentage of your sales are falling into these categories, then you could benefit from Interchange Optimization.
