Visa Interchange Rates

The Visa Card-Network

Visa is one of the most commonly held and accepted credit cards in the US, Canada and the world. By accepting Visa, your customers can pay in-person, by phone and online. We’ve made it easy and affordable for you to accept Visa cards so you can offer your customers a fast, reliable and secure method of payment. Our cost-plus pricing helps you save.

What is the Visa Interchange?

Interchange is the fee collected by your 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 Cost+ pricing program. The Interchange Rate is the cost we have to pay to your Visa Card issuer for every transaction you make with us. Our Cost Plus pricing model means that we apply a standard small percentage markup (our profit) on top of that fee.

The tables below provide a breakdown of the current Visa interchange rates.
