MasterCard NABU Fee

It’s Spring Interchange adjustment time again and for April 2009 the topic of discussion is the Mastercard NABU fee.

The NABU (Network Access and Brand Usage) fee is assessed to all sales and return transactions, processed at a US merchant, with a MasterCard Credit or Signature Debit card. Transactions from US merchants for NON US cardholders will not be accessed the NABU Fee.

Merchants should keep their eyes open from companies that may be passing this fee onto Visa and Discover transactions. Again, this fee only applies to MasterCard.
