The savings are there for the taking.
The data required for Level 2 and Level 3 rates already exists. The problem is that standard processing systems don’t submit it. Flute’s platform automatically captures and submits data for every qualifying transaction, making it easy to unlock more savings.

B2B payment processing

Businesses that invoice other businesses using corporate or purchasing cards can use level 2 and 3 processing to improve margins on every B2B sale.

Government payment processing

By submitting the right data, government purchasing cards and fleet cards also qualify for level 3 payments rates.

High-value invoices to corporate accounts can massively reduce interchange fees. A 0.5% to 1% reduction on a $10,000 transaction is meaningful.

FAQs

Standard Level 1 processing submits basic transaction data, like the card number and amount, to card networks and issuers. Level 2 payment processing adds customer reference numbers, tax amounts, and merchant information. Level 3 credit card processing goes further by submitting line-item details, including product descriptions, quantities, and unit prices.

Card networks reward merchants who submit more detailed transaction data because it reduces their risk and improves reporting for corporate card programs. By qualifying for level 3 payment processing, businesses can see interchange reductions of up to 1% per qualifying transaction. Flute automates data submission, so you can save more on every eligible transaction with no manual work.

Businesses that regularly accept corporate cards, government purchasing cards, and fleet cards benefit most. This includes B2B companies, luxury transportation providers, health care organizations, automotive shops that service commercial fleets, and SaaS platforms serving business customers. The higher your volume of qualifying transactions, the more meaningful the savings.

Participating in CEDP allows merchants to qualify for lower interchange rates on eligible business and government card purchases. Flute’s platform automatically supports Visa CEDP requirements.
