Credit Card Payment Processing
Can someone explain the entire credit card process;who makes money after my card is swiped? First Data?
I’m looking to see how a company like First Data or Mastercard makes money. I read that JPMorganChase decided to move away from First Data to process their cards.
Can someone explain how First Data makes money (not via Western Union)?
Am I to understand that they “process” the credit card or debit payment? So if they process payments for a particular bank or credit card company, they make a fee for every transaction? What is that fee normally?
Is this in addition to the fees Mastercard or Visa makes as well?
It seems to me that credit card usage will keep increasing, even in rough economic times, and that the companies that will benefit would be companies like First Data and Mastercard. Can someone chime in on that? Thanks in advance!
I hope this doesn’t confuse you even more. Credit card companies make money when you, the consumer, fail to pay off the entire balance by the end of a 30 day period. This is where you start paying interest and this is where the credit card companies like Visa and Mastercharge make their profits. Target issues credit cards too, and I’ll use that as another example. Target banks heavily that their credit card users will not keep a zero balance from month to month, so Target does successfully make alot of money from the interest. It’s because people use cards, over use them, and cannot possibly keep up. The card companies know this. But if you have a credit card, use it only modestly and pay it off each month, you escape the fees that others pay in your place. That’s the key – don’t carry debt from month to month. Do that responsibly and the card is a good tool for building up a good credit score that may benefit you later when you want to buy a home and need a loan.
