Scheme Management
Scheme Selection
Your partnership with a domestic, regional or global payment scheme is clearly an extremely important one. Determining which scheme(s) you should partner with can be a complex process and will likely require you to consider both qualitative and quantitative factors, such as acceptance, brand recognition, products and services offered. You will also want to fully understand the net cost of trading with each scheme, which is typically a function of interchange earned, any incentives received and fees paid.
Interchange
Fees and Incentives
Pinnacle's consultants have a detailed knowledge of the complex world of scheme fees and can help you not only forecast your likely costs of using each scheme, but also negotiate an appropriate set of incentives which reflect your needs and growth potential. We regularly manage scheme selection processes for clients - contact us about our Scheme Deal Support service.
