How Portuguese operators use Reduniq to optimise card processing costs.
A CPO network operating 215 chargers across Portugal was processing all card payments through a pan-European international acquirer. An analysis showed that 74% of transactions used Portuguese-issued Visa or Mastercard cards — qualifying for domestic interchange rates. After switching to Reduniq for domestic acquisition, average interchange dropped from 1.87% to 1.53% on Portuguese-issued cards. On a total card processing volume of €14.1M/year, this resulted in €48,000 in annual savings. The switch was completed in 6 weeks.
