Prepare B2B payments for Visa's CEDP shift
Boost Payment Solutions announced full readiness to support customers under Visa's newly launched Commercial Enhanced Data Program (CEDP), a sweeping overhaul of interchange qualification rules designed to modernize how enhanced commercial card data is validated, verified and priced.
CEDP replaces Visa's long-standing Level 2 and Level 3 interchange structures with a new framework built around real-time data accuracy and consistency. In October 2025, Visa began applying machine learning to verify enhanced transaction data at the moment of authorization, rewarding submissions that meet strict validation standards while downgrading transactions that contain incomplete or inaccurate data.
"CEDP has far-reaching implications for the entire B2B payments ecosystem," said Dean M. Leavitt, founder and CEO of Boost Payment Solutions. "Passing data is no longer enough. It must be correct, validated and network-ready every single time."
Boost prepared for this transition well ahead of Visa's enforcement timeline. The company reported that 99.96 percent of transactions processed through its platform already meet CEDP requirements, positioning Boost clients to receive the lowest eligible interchange rates at the time of processing.
Boost said that unlike providers that wait for Visa's post-transaction verification cycle, its pre-funding model applies qualified rates immediately, helping to protect working capital and eliminate reimbursement delays that can stretch as long as 90 days.
Boost's approach also removes the reconciliation burden many businesses face under CEDP, the company noted, adding that by automating the parsing, enrichment and validation of invoice-level data, Boost ensures enhanced fields are properly formatted and verified without requiring system overhauls or manual intervention. Plus, proprietary technology, combined with deep acquirer and issuer partnerships, enable seamless compliance across complex B2B payment environments.
For acquiring partners, Boost Payments-as-a-Service provides a turnkey gateway that formats and submits CEDP-qualified virtual card data on behalf of merchants. Payment facilitators and merchant service providers can extend compliance across their portfolios while preserving competitive interchange outcomes under Visa's new model, the company stated.
"Our mission is to make enterprise payments smarter, faster, and more transparent," Leavitt said. "CEDP reinforces that vision by turning accurate data into a strategic advantage rather than an operational burden."
