3 DEFINITIONS Authorization Fee Each time a terminal completes a transaction (sale, refund or void), a fee is charged for the communication to the processor's host. Batch Deposit Fee Each time a merchant closes their terminal batch (settles their terminal), a fee is charged for the communication of the batch details (transaction counts and volumes) to the processor's host. Card Brand Dues and Assessments Card Brand Association Fees are charged by Visa and MasterCard directly to Merchants through the Acquiring Bank. All businesses accepting credit cards must pay these fees. Card Association Fees go directly to the Card Brands and fund Visa and MasterCard services and operations, including licensing, patents and copyrights, operating regulations, national and international settlement and authorization systems, the interchange network, product development, advertising and promotion, and risk management services. Effective Merchant Discount Rate The EMDR is calculated as the total transaction fees divided by the total sales volume. Total transaction fees include the total of any bank card merchant discount rate, non-qualified fees, card brand fees, international card brand fees, transaction fees and refund fees. International Cross-Border Fees Visa and MasterCard charge a cross-border fee if your customer is outside of Canada to help manage currency exchanges. This fee varies depending on your processing currency. The Visa International Acquirer Service Fee for Multi-Currency POS is 0.40% and for Single Currency POS is 0.80%. The MasterCard Cross Border Assessment Fee for Foreign Card Voume is 0.80%. Interchange Each credit card payment qualifies at a certain Interchange rate; Interchange refers to a matrix of discount rates and transaction fees defined by the Card Associations (e.g. Visa and MasterCard). These fees are paid by the payment processor to the cardholder's bank to compensate for accepting credit card payments. Factors that influence Interchange fees include type of card presented, business type and how the transaction is performed. As Interchange Fees are updated directly by Visa and MasterCard, please refer to the following sources to access the most recent rate tables: Visa: MasterCard: 1
4 PRICING STRUCTURES We provide three types of pricing structures: Tiered Pricing Interchange fees assessed by the card Associations are grouped in 2 different categories: or Non-. Depending on how a payment is processed and the type of credit card used, transactions may downgrade to as the associated Interchange categories carry a higher cost. Some common factors that may prompt a transaction to downgrade include transactions that are keyed into a terminal, e- commerce transactions and the acceptance of corporate or reward program credit cards. Card brand assessments are included in the discount rate. Card brand dues are billed and reported separately. Flat Rate Pricing Flat rate pricing consists of a single, consolidated discount rate based on an analysis of your processing history and the industry being serviced. This rate is not affected by Interchange qualification and remains constant regardless of how the transaction is performed or the card type accepted. Card brand assessments are included in the flat rate. Card brand dues are billed and reported separately. Cost Plus Pricing Interchange fees assessed by the card Associations are passed through with no markup, which only cover the processor s cost. In addition to Interchange fees, the processor assesses a fixed rate above its cost to cover service and business infrastructure. Card brand dues and assessments are reported and billed separately from the processor fee. We are dedicated to providing the highest levels of client satisfaction. If you feel your business would benefit from an alternate pricing structure or to further discuss the terms of your merchant agreement, please contact our Client Care Department at We are available 24/7 to discuss solutions that best fit your business needs. 2
