Pricing
Pricing that depends on what you sell — because it should.
Ten of fourteen providers in this segment quote only. We show the bands, explain what moves a rate, and ask the questions that decide it.
What drives a rate
Six things, none of them a secret.
- 01
Interchange: what the cardholder's bank charges, set by the schemes, different for every card type and country.
- 02
Scheme fees: what Visa and Mastercard charge to move the transaction.
- 03
Your vertical: the schemes and our acquiring partners price risk, and so must we.
- 04
Chargeback history: a ratio under 0.5 % and a ratio over 1 % are different businesses to underwrite.
- 05
Volume: more volume, more room in the rate.
- 06
Settlement cycle and reserve: faster settlement and a smaller reserve cost more than T+2 with a rolling reserve.

What costs extra
Named, explained, and on every line of your statement.
- Chargeback fee
- Charged per dispute the scheme raises, whether you win or lose; the schemes charge us either way.
- Refund fee
- The original processing fee is not returned; a small fixed fee covers the refund itself.
- Payout fee
- Per payout to a bank account or card; bulk payouts are priced per item.
- FX markup
- Applied in basis points above the mid-market rate when you settle in a currency other than the one charged, and shown on every line.
- Rolling reserve
- A percentage of each settlement held for a fixed period and released automatically as it ages out; used to cover refunds and disputes first, then returned in full.
