Things to know about the individual clusters:
An allocation cluster refers to changes in credit card organizations (Visa, MasterCard) and/or credit card issuers (issuer of the customer credit card). These changes can have e.g. a commercial impact and affect significantly our IC++ customers. Should you participate from this adjustment, you will find it in the usual and transparent form on your merchant statement. In principle, EVO always pursues the goal of a timely allocation to its traders. Due to a downstream invoice verification process, some commercial changes can only be passed on to the merchant afterwards. EVO always informs its merchants in advance about upcoming allocations.
Disclaimer:
Note: Due to the new edition in 2022, this overview represents all adjustments of the credit card organizations (Visa/MasterCard) since 2022. If there are changes from previous adjustments (<2022) for the merchants, these will be communicated on the merchant statement or by a separate mailing to the merchants.
