There are two basic pricing methods for credit cards.

The first method bundles all of the different types of credit cards and places them into four categories:

Debit cards swiped - Will be the lowest rate.

Credit cards swiped - Rate is slightly higher than debit cards.

Rewards cards swiped or debit/credit cards keyed in - Generally called mid-qualified rate and is higher than debit or credit cards swiped.

Rewards cards keyed, corporate cards, or transactions not batched on a regular basis - Highest rates, and generally get the non-qualified rate.

The second method is called Interchange+ pricing. Interchange is the fee charged directly from Mastercard, Visa, or Discover for the 250+ types of cards that are issued. With Interchange+ pricing, you pay the interchange with an additional fee to the processor that encompasses our cost of doing business.
