Visa and MasterCard has created a special Business-to Business (B2B) and Business-to-Government (B2G )interchange category that offers lower processing rates on all Visa business, commercial, purchasing and government credit card transactions. The B2B rate can be any where to 0.50% to 0.75% percent lower that a merchant pays for interchange or more than the normal processing rates offered to other industries. GDpay has a list of eligible industry types that can take advantage of these savings. The B2B rate will reduce your monthly processing fees by an average of 10-20%. When processing large transactions over $5000, GDpay can help you reduce your interchange fee even more by passing extra data.
Many businesses need to process credit card payments that average over $5,000 per transaction. The Card Associations (Visa) have specific interchanges that address these requirements which minimizes the costs of processing theses transactions. Businesses that qualify in this category often process transactions capturing level 2 and level 3 data for corporate and government cards. Level 2 data is designed to support B2B credit card transaction, since the majority of the cards accepted in this environment are corporate cards. Level 3 data is designed to support business-to-business and business-to-government payment processing, the majority of the cards accepted in this environment are corporate and government cards.
Level 2 Data
-Standard Information - Credit card number & expiration data, billing address, zip code & invoice number
-Customer Code - Isn't required but encouraged to be captured
