You can read a full article on <a href=\"https:\/\/trc-parus.ru\/blog\/how-interchange-rates-work-in-payments\/\">how interchange fees work<\/a>. The exact amount of the interchange fee varies depending on a number of factors, including the type of credit card being used, the type of transaction (e.g. <a href=\"https:\/\/trc-parus.ru\/blog\/card-present-vs-card-not-present-in-payments\/\">card-present or card-not-present<\/a>), and the merchant&#8217;s industry.<\/p><p><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); text-align: var(--text-align); font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji';\">Interchange fees are paid by the <\/span><a style=\"text-align: var(--text-align); background-color: #ffffff; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji';\" href=\"https:\/\/trc-parus.ru\/blog\/what-is-an-acquiring-bank-in-payments\/\">acquiring bank<\/a><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); text-align: var(--text-align); font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji';\"> (i.e. the bank that processes the payment for the merchant) to the <\/span><a style=\"text-align: var(--text-align); background-color: #ffffff; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji';\" href=\"https:\/\/trc-parus.ru\/blog\/what-is-an-issuing-bank-in-payments\/\">issuing bank<\/a><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); text-align: var(--text-align); font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji';\"> (i.e. the bank that issued the card to the customer). The acquiring bank works with a <a href=\"https:\/\/trc-parus.ru\/blog\/what-is-an-iso-in-payments\/\">payment processor or ISO<\/a> to pass on this cost to the merchant in the form of a <a href=\"https:\/\/trc-parus.ru\/blog\/its-time-to-get-rid-of-merchant-discount-rate-in-payments\/\">merchant discount rate (MDR)<\/a>, which is typically a percentage of the transaction amount.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); text-align: var(--text-align); font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji';\">While interchange rates are set by the <a href=\"https:\/\/trc-parus.ru\/blog\/what-are-credit-card-networks\/\">card networks<\/a>, they can be influenced by a number of factors.

This includes the issuing bank, acquirer, card network, and payment processor (ISO).\n\nIssuing banks get most of the fees and use interchange fees as a source of revenue to cover the costs of issuing and managing credit and debit cards, including fraud prevention, customer service, and rewards programs. In some cases, issuing banks may also share a portion of the interchange fees with cardholders in the form of rewards, cash back, or other benefits.\n\nAcquiring banks, on the other hand, earn revenue to process credit and debit card transactions. The MDR typically includes the interchange fee, as well as other fees and charges associated with processing payments.\n\nThe credit card networks, like Visa and MasterCard, take a portion of the fees for handling some of the transaction process.\n\nPayment processors (also called ISOs), which act as intermediaries between merchants and acquiring banks, earn revenue from the fees they charge merchants for payment processing services. They handle the sales, customer service, hardware, and software. ISOs are also the ones that directly work with merchants.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-855f697 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"855f697\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How much are the interchange rates in USA<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-555031a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"555031a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Interchange rates in the USA vary depending on a number of factors, including the type of card being used, the type of transaction, and the merchant&#8217;s industry (<a href=\"https:\/\/trc-parus.ru\/blog\/mcc-merchant-category-code-in-payments\/\">MCC code<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); text-align: var(--text-align); font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji';\">It&#8217;s important to note that interchange fees are not the total cost for payment processing.
