Payments language demystified

A software component (or service) that analyzes transaction-level data (e.g., BIN, card type, MCC, amount, region) and automatically routes or advises on methods to minimize interchange cost (for example, upgrading to Level 2/3 data, avoiding downgrade triggers, or selecting alternative payment methods). Platforms and merchants using an interchange optimization engine benefit from cost savings, improved gross margins, and more predictable fee structures.
