conducted by a Financial Institution. Financial institutions will share in any revenue generated just as they would a normal merchant
account.
This percentage is determined by the Sales Professional at time of Strategic Partner enrollment. Financial Institutions participating
in this program will receive a standard merchant statement per location and any profit earned on the MID will be paid with monthly
residuals.
Rates (income):
Applicable Expenses:
• Assessments (including Dues and Assessments, MasterCard NABU, Discover Network Access Fees, and Visa APF and Base II
Settlement Fees [ referenced on NP statements as “Issuer Access and Settlement Fees”], FANF and MC Annual Location
Fees). Please note that Visa is not currently applying Dues and Assessments to Manual Cash Disbursement transactions, but
Nationwide anticipates that this may change down the road.
• Monthly Support Fee
• Front End Authorization
• Back End Settlement
• Paper Expenses
• The only pricing that will be charged to the individual MID is the monthly support fee if one is indicated by the Sales
Professional.
• The residual sharing percentage can be set at a different percentage than the rest of the Affiliate/Referral partner
relationship. Please note:
o The percentage cannot be different for individual branches
o The percentage cannot exceed 40%

1. Include on a single cash disbursement Transaction Information Document (TID) all cash being disbursed in the same transaction.
Enter on the cash disbursement TID the amount of the cash disbursement in local currency (excluding any applicable taxes or other
charges) as the total.
2. Enter on the cash disbursement TID the date of the transaction.
3. Except when there is an approved card-read transaction, imprint legibly on the cash disbursement TID the embossed data from
the customer’s card and from the plate on the imprinter. If a cardholder presents a MasterCard un-embossed card, the card
acceptor must obtain an approval on a card-read transaction.
4. If an embossed MasterCard card is presented but the clerk cannot obtain approval on a card-read transaction and completes the
cash disbursement TID without a card imprint, the clerk must legibly note on the cash disbursement TID the information embossed
on the card presented. This information includes the cardholder account number, the MasterCard initials (if any), the expiration date
(or dual date), and the name of the cardholder.
If a business affiliation is embossed on the card, it also should be written on the cash disbursement TID. An acquirer may not process
a Second Presentment/1240 with this manually-recorded information.
5. Obtain the Cardholder Verification Method (CVM) or the signature of the customer on the cash disbursement TID.
6. Compare the first four digits of the embossed account number with the four digits printed below the embossed account number.
Please note the following regarding the four digits of the embossed number:
• If the same numbers in the same sequence as the four digits printed below the embossed account number, before
completing the transaction, record the four printed digits on the cash disbursement TID in the space provided.
• Not the same numbers in the same sequence as the four digits printed below the embossed account number; do not
complete the transaction. Notify the authorization center.
7. Except for card-read transactions where a non-signature CVM is used, request a personal identification of the cardholder. The
identification must be an official government-issued document (such as, a passport, identification document, or driver’s license) that
a. Bears one of the following:
i. The cardholder’s signature
ii. The cardholder’s photograph
iii. The cardholder’s signature and photograph
b. If an expiration date is indicated on the document, that document must not be expired.
8. Acquirers should ensure that their card acceptors shall, to the extent allowed by applicable law, record on the face of the TID
a. A description of the identification
b. The jurisdiction of issue
c. The unique identification number (such as identification card number, passport number, or driver’s license number)
d. The name of the cardholder (if different than the name embossed on the card or if no name appears on the card)
9. Except for card-read transactions where a non-signature CVM is used, compare the signature on the cash disbursement TID with
the signature on the card and identification presented (if the bearer’s signature is on the document). Ascertain that they appear to
be the same. If the card, identification, or both bear a photograph of the cardholder, check that the cardholder and the person
presenting the card appear to be the same person.
10. Each cash disbursement must be authorized in accordance with Chapter 2 of the Authorization System Manual. Type or legibly
print on the cash disbursement TID the authorization approval code evidencing any authorization obtained.
11. Provide the customer with a completed copy of the cash disbursement TID.
