Two ways to pay for card payments

With blended pricing you pay one rate, sometimes plus a fixed fee, on every card payment. With interchange++ you pay the interchange fee that goes to the customer's bank, the scheme fee that goes to the card network, and the provider's own markup, each shown separately.

Which works out cheaper

It depends on your card mix and size. If most of your customers pay with consumer debit cards, where interchange is low, interchange++ often costs less because you only pay the markup on top of the real costs. In the UK and EU, interchange on consumer cards is capped at 0.2% for debit and 0.3% for credit. Use the averages from your own statements or quotes.
