  • Publication number: 20240062171
    Abstract: A method for routing electronic payment transactions includes receiving transaction-related information from a merchant, extracting transaction routing criteria from the received transaction-related information, dynamically identifying one or more eligible payment networks based on extracted transaction routing criteria, predicting a likelihood of authorization acceptance for each identified network based on the transaction-related information, dynamically identifying one or more breakeven transaction amounts for each identified eligible payment network, each breakeven transaction amount defining a point at which two or more eligible payment networks have the same expenses for a given transaction amount, the expenses including costs associated with a low predicted likelihood of authorization acceptance, and routing signature debit transactions from the merchant to a least cost PIN-less debit network selected from the eligible payment networks based on identification of a desired breakeven transaction amount f

  • Publication number: 20230351376
    Abstract: A method for routing electronic payment transactions may include receiving transaction-related information from a merchant, extracting transaction routing criteria from the received transaction-related information, identifying one or more eligible payment networks and one or more eligible acquirer processors based on extracted transaction routing criteria, predicting a likelihood of authorization acceptance for each combination of identified acquirer processor and identified network, identifying one or more breakeven transaction amounts for each combination of identified eligible acquirer processor and identified eligible payment network, and routing signature debit transactions from the merchant to a least cost combination of acquirer processor and PIN-less debit network selected from the eligible payment networks based on identification of a desired breakeven transaction amount for the PIN-less debit network.
