CardConnect + Shuttle

CardConnect, a Fiserv company, is a US-focused payment processor known for its security-first approach to card processing. Its patented CardSecure tokenization technology replaces sensitive card data with randomized tokens before it reaches the merchant’s systems, reducing PCI scope and breach risk. CardConnect also offers validated point-to-point encryption (P2PE) and supports Level 2 and Level 3 data processing, which is critical for B2B platforms that need to pass detailed line-item data to qualify for lower interchange rates on corporate and purchasing cards. These capabilities make CardConnect a strong choice for platforms in healthcare, government, education, and B2B commerce.

Shuttle connects to CardConnect’s processing infrastructure so that platforms can take advantage of CardConnect’s security features and US-optimized acquiring without being limited to a single-processor setup. When Shuttle routes a transaction to CardConnect, the platform benefits from CardSecure tokenization and CardConnect’s competitive US interchange pricing, particularly on Level 2/3 transactions where detailed data submission can reduce processing costs by 0.5% to 1.0% per transaction. Shuttle’s Voice Checkout integration with CardConnect is especially relevant for industries where phone-based payments are common, such as healthcare billing and government fee collection, as it keeps card data out of the platform’s environment entirely.

Platforms that process a high volume of B2B or government transactions in the United States benefit from using CardConnect through Shuttle because they gain access to CardConnect’s interchange optimization without giving up multi-PSP flexibility. Shuttle can route corporate card transactions to CardConnect, where Level 2/3 data processing reduces costs, while routing consumer transactions or international payments to other processors where they perform better. The unified reporting and reconciliation layer that Shuttle provides means finance teams see all transactions in one place, whether they settled through CardConnect or through any other connected PSP.
