Member-Preferred Rates in Canada
Your association can provide members access to preferred processing rates based on eligibility, processing method (in-person vs online vs recurring), and the member’s business profile. Many members choose a transparent structure such as interchange-plus (pass-through card costs + a clear markup), while some programs may use approved plan pricing depending on underwriting.
What member rates usually include
- Preferred pricing for eligible members
- Clear per-transaction fees where applicable
- Support for in-person, online, and recurring payments
- Tools for invoices, links, and checkout
How pricing is determined
- Business type and industry profile
- Payment method (card-present vs online vs recurring)
- Expected volume and average ticket size
- Underwriting requirements and risk profile
Why transparency matters
- Helps members understand their true effective cost
- Reduces confusion when card type mix changes
- Sets correct expectations for settlement and funding
- Supports long-term stability and scaling
