MasterCard U.S. and Interregional Interchange Rate Programs
Introduction
Financial institutions that provide card acceptance services to merchants are typically referred to as acquirers. Although MasterCard has no involvement in acquirer and merchant pricing policies or agreements, it is generally understood that interchange fees are one component of the Merchant Discount Rate (MDR) established by acquirers, which is paid by merchants to acquirers in consideration for card acceptance services.
MasterCard interchange rates are established by MasterCard, and are generally paid by acquirers to card issuers on purchase transactions conducted on MasterCard cards. Interchange rates are only one of many cost components included in a MDR, and are a necessary and efficient method by which MasterCard maintains a strong and vibrant payments network. Setting interchange rates is a challenging proposition that involves an extremely delicate balance. If interchange rates are set too high, such that they lead to disproportionately high MDRs, merchants desire and demand for MasterCard acceptance will drop. If interchange rates are set too low, card issuers willingness to issue and promote MasterCard cards will drop, as will consumer demand for such cards. In response to these competitive forces, MasterCard strives to maximize the value of the MasterCard system, including the dollar volume spent on MasterCard cards, the number and types of MasterCard cards in circulation, and the number and types of merchants accepting MasterCard cards, by setting default interchange rates at levels that balance the benefits and costs to both cardholders and merchants.
Although MasterCard interchange rates have generally been available to merchants through requests to acquirers or other card acceptance service providers, MasterCard believes that providing easy access to our interchange rates will provide additional transparency to merchants. Accordingly, MasterCard is publishing interchange rates that apply to U.S.-merchants transactions, which include U.S. interchange rates (that is, the interchange rates that apply to transactions conducted on a U.S.-issued card at a U.S. merchant) and Interregional interchange rates (that is, the interchange rates that apply to transactions conducted on a nonU.S.-issued card at a U.S. merchant).

In the event of any discrepancy between the rates and criteria found in this document and those rates and criteria MasterCard deems to be the official rates and criteria, the official rates and criteria will apply.
MasterCard U.S. and Interregional Interchange Rate Programs
Two new Interchange programs that were added October 1, 2011 are valid for regulated transactions between the US Region and the following U.S. territories: American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, as per the Durbin Amendment.
MasterCard has included a Merchant Category Guide, as well as the key criteria associated with each interchange rate and a Glossary of Terms, to help merchants determine which of the many interchange rates may apply to their transactions. The interchange rate tables are organized by product type. Each interchange rate has a series of requirements, all of which must be satisfied in order for a transaction to qualify for that rate. The requirements include such factors as: merchant category; the time between authorization and clearing; the presence or absence of magnetic stripe data; the submission of enhanced transaction data; and a merchants MasterCard sales and transaction volume. MasterCard systems ensure that all requirements are met when a transaction is submitted for a particular interchange rate. Merchants and acquirers should strive to meet all of the criteria necessary to qualify transactions for the rate(s) that are most advantageous to them.
MasterCard interchange rates are typically updated semiannually, and MasterCard will publish its interchange rates generally concurrent with each rate update. While we will endeavor to keep the rates and the related criteria in this document up to date, it is possible that this document will not be absolutely current in all regards. In the event of any discrepancy between the rates and the criteria found in this document and those rates and criteria MasterCard deems to be the official rates and criteria, the official rates and criteria will apply.
MasterCard is confident that this document provides merchants with the information needed to understand the interchange rates and structure and determine which rates may apply to their transactions. However, we also recognize that this information is being made available to a very diverse audience, with diverse needs and expectations. MasterCard encourages merchants to speak with their acquirer or other card acceptance service provider, if they have questions regarding any aspect of MasterCard interchange rates, acceptance of MasterCard cards, or their card acceptance agreement.

The interchange fee on a purchase transaction flows from the acquirer to the issuer. The interchange fee on a refund/return transaction flows from the issuer to the acquirer.
