@Johnie Correct nothing is free. A merchant does not need to pay to accept EMV/NFC. Most can get interchange plus rates. $0 to cancel.

@BrianRoemmele what's interchange plus rates? So when merchants complain that 3-5% are credit fees - is it in reality 1% because of plus?1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@collegeitdept if any retail merchant is paying over 2% effective rate, they are paying too much. Post Durbin debt rates are less then 1%.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@collegeitdept thank you! It is hard to watch the media numbers. No true merchant account is marked up >75 basis points over interchange.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@collegeitdept interchange reimbursement charts are Googleable. Typical effective (debit/credit) rate about 1.2% for most small merchants.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@BrianRoemmele wow. 1.2%. Where are people and retailers coming up with the 3-6% credit fees? When complaining about credit?1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@collegeitdept this is the popular media %. If interchange is about 1% effective rate for retail and markup is 0.75, 5% is insane.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@BrianRoemmele we in the media had no idea it's only ~ 75 bps. So clearly we relied on retailer numbers. So where are retailers getting 5%?3 replies 0 retweets 0 likes
@collegeitdept I hear ya. 1) Some numbers published have an agenda.
