Description

The contract includes the provision of merchant acquiring for all card transactions apart from student fees, which are managed separately. Both online CNP and in-person CP transactions are included.

The provision of physical infrastructure for CP payment acceptance is also included, along with capability for a very small volume of MOTO payments keyed into terminals directly by staff.

Student fee processing and associated merchant acquiring are excluded as these are managed separately.
