A method for obtaining credit card pricing for a merchant includes obtaining a merchant category classification (MCC) code. A sales volume, a number of credit card transactions, an average dollar amount of the credit card transactions and a percentage of credit card transactions that are keyed are obtained. The MCC code, the average dollar amount of the of credit card transactions processed and the percentage of credit card transactions that are keyed are compared with corresponding data from a database of merchant credit card transactions. A matched merchant is identified whose transaction profile closely matches a combination of the MCC code, the average dollar amount of the credit card transactions processed and the percentage of credit card transactions that are keyed. Credit card processing pricing information for the matched merchant is obtained from the database. The credit card processing pricing information is used to calculate credit card processing pricing for the matched merchant.
