Digital assistants are hardly new to consumers and businesses. Technology-driven brands have been integrating virtual assistants, chatbots and interactive voice response (IVR) systems into phones, homes and websites for decades.

Interchange fees are one of the largest — and most misunderstood — costs in merchant services. But new changes from Visa are reshaping how optimization works and creating new opportunities for payment professionals.
In this episode of the Merchant Sales Podcast, James Shepherd speaks with Jeremy Layton, CEO of Verisave, about interchange optimization, Visa’s new Commercial Enhanced Data Program (CEDP), and how merchants can reduce processing costs without switching providers. They explain how interchange works, why many merchants overpay, and how real transaction data is becoming critical under Visa’s new rules.
The episode also explores how ISOs and agents can partner on cost reduction programs, unlock new revenue opportunities, and help larger merchants who aren’t looking to switch processors.
Plus, Patti Murphy’s Today in Payments segment covers major industry developments including Europe’s move toward a new payment network, rapid growth from Toast and Zelle, and emerging payment innovations.
If you’re a merchant sales agent or ISO owner looking for new ways to deliver value — and generate revenue — this episode is a must-listen.
