Level 3 Purchasing
Card systems for business-to-government (B2G) and
business-to-business (B2B) card acceptance
|
Take advantage of an integrated credit and purchase
card processing system that meets the demanding requirements
of a complex marketplace.
Today, your customers are implementing purchasing card (p-card)
programs to replace inefficient and expensive paper purchase
order processes. In fiscal year 2001, more than 499,000
federal cardholders spent $13.8 Billion on 24.4 million transactions
($565 average ticket). Department
of Defense, Department
of Veteran Affairs, and Department
of Treasury are all large users of p-cards.

Level 3 merchant processing account. Establish an account with us and
qualify for special discount rate incentives from the card associations. |

The benefits of accepting
p-cards as payments include improving profitability by reducing
payment time from 30-60 days to 2-3 days, reducing collection expenses
through electronic authorization, and payment processing and reducing
cost of floating funds until payments are received. Furthermore,
Level 3 processing will increase your competitiveness in winning new
contracts and may even be a requirement.
In order to manage
Interchange qualifications to get the lowest rates available, you need
an application which will support Level 3 data. We recommend

payment gateway automatically processes the file and returns
transaction responses to the supplier's system.
