Interchange fee is a term used in commerce to describe fees charged to retailers and other merchants by an acquiring bank each time credit or debit cards, such as those issued by Visa or Master Card affiliated banks are used to pay for a purchase. Interchange fees have a complex pricing structure, which is based on the card brand, the type of credit or debit card, the type and size of the accepting merchant, and the type of transaction (e.g. online, in-store, phone order). Further complicating the rates schedules, interchange fees are typically a flat fee plus a percentage of the total purchase price (including taxes).
