The transaction may be an on-us transaction or may be associated with any issuer. The second transaction participant may include a payment guarantee provider. The information may be routed to the second transaction participant via a proof-of-verification network. Transactions that are associated with a level of verification may be subject to variable interchange rates. The interchange rates or level of immunization from fraud/chargeback may vary with respect to the level of verification performed by the first transaction participant.

    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for determining a surcharge yield are provided. A surcharge behavior may be monitored during a time period. A change in a first performance metric may be monitored during the time period. A change in a second performance metric may be monitored during the time period. A relationship between the surcharge behavior, the change in the first performance metric and the change in the second performance metric may be determined. The surcharge yield may be determined based on the relationship. Apparatus and methods for adjusting a transaction cost recovery amount are provided. A rate of change in a transaction volume may be monitored. The transaction volume may be associated with a merchant location. When a threshold rate of change is detected the transaction cost recovery amount may be adjusted.
