Many payment processing companies have contracts and termination fees. This is a hidden fee in our industry. At ToolBox, you can rest assured that we never charge a contract fee or a termination fee.

A merchant discount rate is a basis-point percentage that is charged on every transaction accepted by a merchant for either the sale of a good or a service that has been performed.  It is the rate that has been assigned by the issuer of the card in conjunction with Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express.

Interchange is the fee that Visa and MasterCard charge. This is where there are a lot of hidden fees within the industry—there are more than 300 interchange levels within Visa and MasterCard. There are rates for personal credit cards, reward credit cards, corporate credit cards, international credit cards, and debit credit cards. All of these have a fee associated with them.

So, for example, let’s say there is a swiped transaction, a face-to-face transaction between a contractor and a client. Maybe the rate is 1 percent, but there is very low risk. The contractor is swiping the card in person. However, if they get the card number over the phone then there’s more risk involved and the odds of fraud are higher. For this reason, Visa and MasterCard put a higher rate and a higher interchange.. So, maybe instead of 1% it increases to 3%. That interchange rate is universal across all credit card companies. It’s the other fees that the processors put on top of that such as transaction fees and monthly fees and compliance fees that create the whole effective rate.

And what’s very important to understand is that many companies will take the lowest interchange rate. So let’s say it’s 1.2% which sounds so low. They’ll say, “Hi so-and-so, our rate is 1.2% and the truth is, they’re right. There is a rate that is 1.2%. If you get this particular credit card, you’ll be charged 1.2%, but it may be that out of a 1,000 transactions only one credit card hits that very low level. So, that’s why it’s so important that your credit card company shares with you an interchange summary and really breaks down for you every transaction. If you are considering switching processing partners or starting up, they should show you exactly what every fee should hit at.

The transparent flat fee is 2.55% + .10 per face to face transaction. For card not present transactions, the fee raises to 3.35% +.15.

A pending payment in your bank account means that there is a deposit that has come into your bank and is waiting to be posted to your bank account. It is pending because your bank has not released it to your bank account. Each individual bank has different times in which transactions are posted to bank accounts. Check with your bank to find out times in which funds are posted daily.
