What is an Interchange Fee?
When a cardholder makes a purchase with a credit or debit card, there is an interchange fee attributable to those transactions, which is usually 1% to 2% of the purchase price. Interchange fees typically account for the greatest part of the fees paid by merchants for accepting Visa and MasterCard cards. Visa and MasterCard set interchange fee rates for different kinds of transactions and publish them on their websites, usually twice a year.
