The diagram shows how a credit card payment is processed.
Overall, the process has seven steps and involves the consumer, the merchant, the credit card company, and the banks. It starts when the consumer pays and ends when the merchant receives the money.
First, the consumer pays for a product using a credit card. The merchant then sends a request for authorisation to the credit card company, which passes it to the consumer’s bank. The bank checks the account and either allows or rejects the payment. If it is approved, the information goes back to the merchant through the credit card company.
After authorisation, the product is sent to the consumer. Later, the bank transfers the money, minus fees, to the merchant’s bank via the credit card company. Finally, the merchant gets the payment, and the process is complete.
