#h3 A voice heard by NATO
This was a nice and flattering e-mail. I followed up with Todd and extended permission for "presentation use" of the article, without reproduction. ... It would appear that we will be endorsed as their preferred merchant services provider. Just wanted to let you know.
Thanks,
Jason Felts
Founder, President and Chief Executive Officer
Advanced Merchant Services Inc.
Mr. Felts,
I am the government affairs project coordinator for NATO [North Atlantic Treaty Organization]. NATO will give a talk next week on accepting credit card fees. Your Sept. 24, 2007, article ["Merchant account fees demystified," by Jason Felts, The Green Sheet, issue 07:09:02] on www.greensheet.com is the first place I've been able to find that breaks down merchant account fees. We found the article very informative and well written.
I was wondering if NATO could use your information during that talk and possibly through a handout, naturally citing you and the information's source. If that is not a possibility, could you furnish me with information on how to get that information elsewhere?
I am on somewhat of a tight deadline, so I would be interested hearing from you at your earliest convenience.
Best,
Todd Halstead
Government Affairs Project Coordinator
Jason,
Congratulations! This is great news. Thank you for passing it along to us. The Green Sheet wholeheartedly endorses referencing informative articles such as yours in presentations by NATO and other influential organizations.

#h3 Interchange changes coming?
I'm looking for Visa Inc.'s 2008 April interchange rate changes but cannot find them anywhere on your site. Do you know where I can find them?

Don,
We do not yet have Visa's 2008 interchange rate changes. As soon as we have access to them, we will post them online, as well as print them in an upcoming issue. You'll be able to reach them by clicking the Resources link beneath the header on our home page. A link to Visa's 2008 rates will be on the page that appears.
