MasterCard is one of the two most commonly held credit cards. Like Visa, MasterCard is one of the top credit card issuers in the US, Canada and around the world. It is widely used, recognized and trusted. While some business owners do not accept credit cards due to the cost, PaymentHub offers interchange plus, or cost-plus, pricing. Our transparent pricing options remove the complexity and confusion that comes with accepting credit cards.
Interchange refers to the fee collected by the customer’s credit card bank (the Mastercard card-issuer) on every transaction. These rates are set by Mastercard each year and apply to every processor in the payments industry. In simpler terms, interchange is the wholesale cost that the processor has to pay on every credit card transaction. Interchange rates are part of PaymentHub’s interchange plus pricing plans. We simply pass on the wholesale cost from the card issuer and then add on a transparent, small fee. The tables below provide a breakdown of the current Mastercard interchange rates.
