How Does Credit Card Transaction Processing Work

When you tap your card or enter your details online, it feels instant — but there’s actually a lot happening behind the scenes. Credit card processing is the system that moves money securely from your customer’s bank to your business account. Here’s how it works, step by step.
The Main Players
Every card transaction involves a few key parties working together:

  • The customer (cardholder) making the purchase.
  • The merchant (that’s you) accepting the payment.
  • The acquirer, your bank that handles card transactions.
  • The issuer, the customer’s bank that provided the card.
  • The card network (like Visa or Mastercard) that connects them all.

Step1: Authorization
When a customer pays, your payment system sends the transaction details to your bank(the acquirer). The request travels through the card network to the customer’s bank (the issuer), which checks if the card is valid and funds are available. Within seconds, an approval or decline message returns — and the sale goes through if it’s approved.
Step2: Clearing and Settlement
At the end of the day, approved transactions are grouped together and sent off for processing. The customer’s bank transfers the funds (minus small fees) through the card network to your bank. Your bank then deposits the money into your account — usually within one to three business days.
Step3: The Fees
Each transaction includes a small fee — typically between 1.5% and 3.5% — shared between the banks and card network. These fees cover the cost of keeping the system fast, secure, and reliable.
The Bottom Line
What seems like a simple “tap and done” moment is actually a complex, secure chain of communication between multiple financial institutions. It all happens in seconds, ensuring you get paid and your customers stay protected.
