Level 3 processing is utilized in B2B transactions to help secure lower interchange rates and monitor spending.
Level 3 Processing retrieves detailed transactional information along with the sale to send to Visa and Mastercard, which, in turn, provides access to lower Interchange rates for those that participate.
At Payway, Level 3 Processing is automated for all clients – right from the start – to reduce as many interchange fees possible for the duration of our partnership. We can autodetect if a payment is made with a procurement or corporate charge card, enabling the networks to identify which transactions qualify for the lower interchange rates.
As a courtesy to our Level 3 customers, we will provide you with an Annual Savings Analysis Report so you can see how much you save every year in interchange fees.
