    <title>Apr 18, MasterCard announces revised credit card processing rates</title>
    <link>http://www.merchantservices-help.com/Merchant-services-blog.html#MasterCard-announces-revised-credit-card-processing-rates</link>
    <description>Revised Interchange rates effective April 2008 have been announced by
MasterCard. The revised and latest MC 2008 Interchange schedule may be found at 
*http://www.mastercard.com/us/gateway.html*
--click on &quot;Interchange Rates&quot; in the business column. &quot;Interchange&quot; is, for all intents and purposes, the 'wholesale' price of credit card
processing services which directly affect the rates at which processors
re-sell these services to merchants. Visa is expected to follow shortly with
their own revised 2008 Interchange rates.</description>
