Intelligent Rate

Instead of charging a flat rate, Intelligent Rate calculates the service fee to correspond to the cost of accepting the card a consumer chooses. For example, constituents who choose rewards cards will cover the extra cost associated with those rewards. Lower your customer’s transaction fee, while you eliminate yours.

Intelligent Rate

Our product specific to Government and Education.

Card surcharges are based on actual costs. It costs an average of 2–3% to process a credit card payment. To compensate, many government and educational institutions pass on a flat-rate processing fee for card payments, but this approach is problematic because different card types have different processing costs.

Empower Consumers to Save

Consumers with low-cost cards pay a lower fee (as low as 0.75%). Intelligent Rate provides real-time information about savings options. Consumers can reduce their service fee by choosing a lower-cost form of payment, such as a no-frills credit card or a debit card.

Help Your Customers Reduce their Transaction Fees

Different card types cost different transaction fees. For example, cards with extensive rewards cost much more than debit cards. Instead, PayCard Tech automatically prices the transaction fee to the actual cost of the card type.

  • Give your customers real-time information about savings.
