Revolution Payments Reveals Payment Technology to Help Government Contractors and Vendors Reduce Transaction Cost for Accepting Government Purchase Cards
(PRWEB) December 22, 2015 -- Revolution Payments, the leader when it comes to Level-3 payments announces payment technology to help Government Contractors and Vendors Reduce the cost of accepting government and commercial credit cards by as much as 40%.
With the challenges contractors face, most contractors have relied on their bank or existing processor to set up your account to accept government and commercial credit cards, unfortunately most sales professionals lack the knowledge and are ill equipped to properly manage the level of processing data required for government credit cards.
Even if someone is honestly trying to do a good job their inexperience when it comes to interchange and commercial credit cards could be driving a contractors expenses up.
Statistics show us at least 3 out of 5 Vendors have not been set up to accept Government P-Cards properly.
Most were set up to accept standard consumer credit cards as opposed to purchasing cards.
Setting up a merchant account to accept government and commercial credit cards is different than a standard merchant account.
Unlike other cards, commercial cards have more features, capabilities and controls than other types of credit cards. They also have tiered interchange rates and are priced differently than consumer or retail transactions.
As Stated on the GSA Site: Visa and MasterCard have created special rates to support Purchase Card programs reducing the merchant transaction costs (Interchange) if Level-3 line item detail information is transmitted with the transaction.
By providing Level-3 data, a supplier may reduce their credit card processing fees – often by 30% to 40%.
While Level 3 processing has considerable advantages that may help a supplier increase government sales, its in demand by federal buyers and could reduce a suppliers transaction cost by 40%, it has historically been used infrequently. And may suppliers processing with level 3 detail have not been set up to receive 100% of the available interchange rebates.
Statics show us at least 3 out of 5 vendors are not processing properly.
Revolution Payments has simplified the process for vendors to receive these interchange rebates. Aside from making sure they have the correct rate structure and set up properly Revolution's advanced payment technology automatically sends Level 3 detail on a supplier’s behalf without them lifting a finger regardless of the processing method.
This dramatically increases a suppliers profit margins even when their pricing is fixed. Since the savings comes as a result of capturing interchange revenue that will otherwise go back to the card issuer a suppliers current rate and processor is irrelevant
