Acquiring and “Internet acquiring”

Definitions: Acquiring – activities of a financial institution (bank or payment provider) to implement the processing of bank credit or debit cards, which is a sequence of procedures to verify the data entered by the cardholder, debiting his account and charges to the account (merchant account) of the organization of the recipient. Also called the “Merchant Acquiring”.

Internet acquiringimplementation by the “Payment Processing Clearinghouse” of a sequence of transactions with cash similar to merchant acquiring, but without the identification of signature of the Cardholder and as a consequence with the consequent possibility of cancellation of payment “on demand” of the Cardholder (chargeback) within 180 days.

Acquiring: rates and factors influencing them

Acquiring is of two kinds: Merchant Acquiring using POS-terminals – when the card is physically present , and its owner puts his signature on the check (payment marker «Card present») and Internet acquiring – when the card is missing and it is impossible to identify the person committing payment (marker «Card not present»). The presence of the marker in electronic banking transaction is the most important element that determines what kind of acquiring, tariffs, rules of treatment and opportunity for appellation and possibility of cancellation of the payment.

To protect Cardholders from fraud the possibility of a simplified cancellation (Chargeback) implemented into the payment procedure with marker «Card not present». In many cases, the Cardholder can simply call his bank and tell that the goods have not been delivered or the service has not been provided properly.

In order to minimize cases of “chargebacks” VISA, MasterCard and other card regulators imposed strict sanctions against Merchants, providing poor services, in the form of fines for each case of cancellation of payment. And the Merchants themselves were divided into classes of activities depending on the level of risk of “chargeback”. Tariff scales were established to determine the basic commission depending on the “Merchant class”. Also the maximum permitted levels of “chargebacks” were identified (Maximum chargeback level) – for example, for VISA credit cards it is ~2 %, and for MasterCard ~1%. And the restriction on these percentages the regulators set not for the traders themselves, but for the banks.

In addition, VISA and MasterCard have divided the planet into special zones – “landing” fund from cards of European banks by the American bank will cost more for the recipient than the payment through the European processor or bank. That commission is called «Interchange rate». It is believed that it was created for «market skimming» from Internet businesses that minimize costs through a variety of offshore schemes.

Internet acquiring and “Chargebacks” problem

Hard limit on the percentage of ” chargebacks ” gave rise to two types of payment processing specializing in reducing their number:

The first type – that organizations producing reduction of “chargebacks” lawful methods. These companies create telephone customer support centers, conduct audits of sites, logistics and consulting business reorganization. This type of processors is interesting when exceeding the maximum level of “chargebacks” is within 1%.

The second type – this firms specializing in working with high risk businesses with high turnover and the level of returns more than 4% . Working in tandem with the banks, they arrange a “carousel” of shell entities and using delays in processing sequence, they withdraw money from the accounts before the regulator will prohibit transactions and block the withholding percentage. This is “black” acquiring. Rates in these organizations, of course, much higher.

Acquiring services. Connection options.

When connecting the acquiring services, the commission by 90% is determined by the level of “risk” of business. Therefore, each processing or the bank in the first place, is interested in the details of business models and payment history if it exists. In addition, for the Internet companies there are ample opportunities for tax planning, as well as a variety of logistics schemes in trade of physical goods. When choosing acquiring scheme, you should always take into the balance between these factors:

Кроме того, существует множество платёжных систем, таких как Paypal или отечественные QIWI, WebMoney или Robokassa. К сожалению, для пользователя такие схемы оплаты выглядят сложнее. А работа с этими системами исключает возможность оптимизации налогообложения. Проценты там также выше, чем в «прямых эквайерах».

Bank-acquiring or processor?

You can read about the difference between using a bank acquiring and processing in the article about the Payment processing. As a summary it can be noted that the conditions and tariffs for acquiring services in banks and payment systems are practically identical. In this case, the fee is determined by the following parameters: Graph of profit growth from bank acquiring
  • The degree of riskiness of the business (high, medium, low)
  • Monthly volumes, the average amount of the payment, number of payments
  • Type of business (goods and services), the stability of the financial indicators
  • Jurisdiction of the registration of a legal entity, the age of the company
  • Personalities of business owners (citizenship, welfare, etc.)
  • Prestigiousness of the bank having opened a usual corporate account
  • The quality of the website, the availability of contracts, multi-lingual resource
  • Having a business plan and forecast of performance indicators (for start-ups)
  • Having a telephone customer service, its quality
  • Policy on voluntary refunds of payments (refund policy)
Depending on the answers to these questions, the rates of the payment systems and the banks will vary from 1.7% for typical online stores with a good history to 5-10% for complex startups. Regarding the payment of funds, it would be in the best case the delay of funds withdrawal for 3 days with no additional conditions, and at worst there can be “draconian” conditions of the security deposit of up to 20,000-30,000 dollars with delayed payments of up to 1-2 months.
