Fees
The fee generally refers to a stream of revenue generating from your customers. Which means that when the cardholder performs a transaction an associated fee with the card product will be charged.
At nCore platform you can link different fees on the card product based on transaction types (e.g. purchase, withdrawal, and etc.). The transaction will be authorized only if there are sufficient funds available in the account which means it is real time fee evaluation. Real time fee evaluation requires that the account has sufficient funds available to cover both the transaction amount and the fee to authorize the transaction.
What does it mean to have sufficient funds?
There are typically three types of amounts involved in an authorization, which are:
- Transaction amount (TA) is the amount requested in the authorization
- Acquirer fee (AF) is the fee that is charged by the acquirer (optional)
- Issuer fee (IF) issuer fee is the fee that you configure and link to the card product (optional)
In order to authorize the transaction the account should have sufficient funds to cover the three amounts, otherwise the authorization will be declined. That is funds in account ≥ TA + AF + IF.
Following are the fee types offered in nCore.
