    Quick Answer

    What is interchange-plus pricing?

    Interchange-plus is a transparent pricing model where you pay the card networks' actual interchange rate plus a fixed, disclosed markup to your processor. Unlike flat-rate or tiered pricing, every fee is itemized on your statement — making it the lowest-cost and most auditable option for most established businesses.
