Twice a year, Visa and Mastercard (and sometimes American Express) change the rules about how credit card processing fees are calculated. Sometimes, those changes can make a big dent in your profitability, and the updates that took place in April of 2021 were both drastic and deceitful. 

In this webinar, we will discuss some of the strange tactics the card brands use to increase your merchant account fees and how other parties involved tend to abuse these rule changes. For any business that accepts credit cards, these fees are constantly on the rise. In many cases, those fees can be avoided or reduced with the proper expertise.

Learning Objectives:

• Determine the nature of the credit card processing industry


• Recognize the cycle of processing fee updates


• Summarize the history of interchange and other fee increases 


• Identify ways in which these fees can be avoided or reduced
