- Average Life – Credit Card Processing
- For credit card processing relationships, healthcare merchants stay with their provider the longest at 48 months. Conversely, Eating and Drinking merchants are near the bottom of the pack, staying with their provider for 31 months.
- Account Size
- B2B merchants are large ($537,000 in annual volume) and growing fast (8.1% year-over-year). This is driven by the opportunity and execution of converting payments typically made via ACH or check to card.
- eCommerce vs Non-eCommerce Chargebacks
- On average, for non-Ecommerce merchants, 3 basis points of transactions are charged-back compared to 9 basis points for eCommerce-only merchants.
