Level III Advantage
Interchange Rate Optimization for B2Bs & B2Gs
NMI’s Level III Advantage is made to automatically optimize data fields with benchmarked data from our platform and your transactions, giving you instant access to Level 2 and Level 3 savings.
When making B2B or B2G purchases, you may qualify for lower rates by simply entering additional data during the transaction. If a merchant uses business or government cards, you can qualify for Level 3 rates, leading to significant savings.
What Are Interchange Rates?
Level 1 , Level 2 and Level 3 interchange rates are different levels of data that merchants provide to credit card companies when processing a transaction. The more data a merchant gives, the lower the interchange rate will be.
Merchants who process a lot of business-to-business (B2B) or business-to-government (B2G) transactions can save money by using Level 3 interchange rates. This is because Level 3 data provides more information about the transaction, which helps credit card companies assess the fraud risk.
Cost Savings
By including detailed transaction information through Level III Advantage, businesses can qualify for lower interchange rates and reduce their processing expenses. This translates to increased profitability and improved bottom line.
Risk Mitigation
Level III Advantage empowers merchants to mitigate risks associated with credit card transactions. By complying with Level 2 and Level 3 data submission requirements, businesses enhance transaction security and reduce exposure to potential losses.
Competitive Advantage
Level III Advantage enables businesses to outperform competitors by securing optimized interchange rates. This competitive edge allows merchants to offer better pricing to customers, attract new business partners and meet the requirements of corporate buyers.
Automated Data Optimization for Lower Interchange Rates
No need to be a strictly B2B or B2G merchant to use Level III Advantage. If a Merchant does not qualify for Level 3, they would automatically transact at Level 2 interchange rates.

Interchange Rates FAQ
Interchange rates are set by credit card companies such as Mastercard and Visa. These card companies typically publish updated interchange rates in April and October.
Visa and Mastercard each have unique data demands to qualify for Level 2 and Level 3 rates. With NMI, we automatically optimize this data so merchants can qualify for higher savings on each transaction.
B2B and B2G merchants have “tiers” or “levels,” referred to as Annual Account Spend. It’s a way of categorizing cards based on how much your customers spend each year. Remember, the more they spend on a business card, the higher the rates will be.
