Merchant Choice Routing (MCR)
If MCR is not enabled, the transaction is processed on the default card network, which may be more expensive for the merchant. Additionally, if a consumer explicitly selects an account (such as SAV or CHQ on a terminal), or card network (which is available in some digital wallets), the consumer’s choice overrides the merchant’s routing preference.
To get started with MCR or for more information, contact your banking partner, payment service provider, or AP+ relationship manager.

- I’d like to find out about Merchant Choice Routing (or Least-cost Routing) for my business, who’s the best person to talk to?
- Do you have a guide to help me understand my merchant statement?
- Can you explain how my fees are currently structured, and what I’m paying?
- If my fees are bundled, can you break them out so I can see debit and credit separately?
- If I choose to route my contactless debit card transactions via eftpos, will I save on fees?
- Can we go through a realistic scenario to test this out?
- If I want to implement Merchant Choice Routing, will a pricing review need to happen – and is my current structure likely to change?
- Are my terminals eligible for Merchant Choice Routing?
- If not, what will be involved in an upgrade?
- If I have multiple terminals, can I implement Merchant Choice Routing on just one of them?
- Or does it have to be done across the board? What else is involved in implementing Merchant Choice Routing and how long does it take?
