BINSmart ™ Advanced Credit Card Processing Technology:
Merchant Warehouse uses an advanced credit card processing algorithm unavailable by any other company. Credit and debit cards are widely used in today’s retail environment. Transaction fees will vary on both debit and credit cards. PIN based debit cards, also known as check cards, can also be used as credit cards. Sometimes it is cheaper for the merchant to process the debit card as a credit card and vice versa. How is a merchant supposed to know the cheapest way for a credit card to be charged? BINSmart ™ technology evaluates each transaction and will determine the cheapest way to process. Once the card is swiped, BINSmart ™ will ask the cashier to collect more data, ask for a PIN number, or have the customer sign the receipt. BINSmart ™ technology looks at all of the following criteria:
- Specific rates according to merchant account structure
- The dollar amount
- The type of card (debit, credit, business)
- Tbe SIC code
- The interchange category
- Debit network costs
- Zip Code
All of these factors influence the transaction method. BINSmart ™ technology can save you a lot of money in the long run and makes accepting credit cards easier.
