MDR is a commission charged by a store / intermediary to a bank for having used the services or infrastructure of a payment system such as an electronic data recorder (EDC).
The third benefit is the concept of GPN that interconnectivity and also interoperability so that customers can use GPN debit card from any EDC bank, as long as it is used domestically. Understandably, the GPN debit card can not be used overseas.
