April 2007 Interchange "Enhancements"

The associations have introduced new discount rate categories.  Visa has introduced 9 new business card categories and MasterCard has introduced a new line of cards called World Elite.

The changes to existing rate categories are shown below along with the new Interchange Categories that merchants may see on their April statement.  Capital Q passes through the exact difference of Interchange and never surcharges our merchants.  These changes will not affect the majority of our merchants.

In June the MasterCard will be lowering Merit 3 and Merit 1 by 0.06%.  Our merchants will automatically receive this savings.
