Скачать или смотреть Credit Card Processing Fees Explained: Interchange Fees, Network Fees & Processor Markups

Ever looked at a $100 card sale and wondered why you only receive about $97 and change? Credit card processing fees can feel confusing—and expensive—but once you understand how the system works, it makes a lot more sense.

In this Jay Get It breakdown, we explain why credit card fees are so high and where the money actually goes. Most people assume card networks like Visa and Mastercard keep the fees, but that’s not true. Processing costs are typically split across three main players—and the biggest share often goes to the issuing bank (the bank that gave the customer the card).

In this video, you’ll learn:
The 3 main fee buckets: interchange fees, network fees, and processor fees
Why interchange fees are usually the largest cost (fraud risk, credit risk, account services, and rewards)
What makes fees go up: online vs in-store, fraud exposure, and premium rewards cards
Why network fees exist (routing, compliance, infrastructure, cybersecurity)
How processors charge for tools like terminals, dashboards, and support
A simple example breakdown: $2.33 on a $100 transaction—and what that fee represents

If you’re a business owner, a banker, or just someone trying to understand payments, this will help you stop guessing and start making informed decisions.
