Understanding Visa Interchange Rates and Interchange Fees

Interchange is the fee collected by the customer's credit card bank (the Visa card-issuer) on every transaction. These rates are set by Visa every year and apply to all processors. In other words, this is the true cost that the processor has to pay on every transaction. The interchange rates are part of our Interchange Plus pricing. The tables below provide a breakdown of the current Visa interchange rates.
