Merchant Account Fees: Affordable and Competitive

For Retail and Online Businesses

There are many factors that determine your merchant account fees. Despite this, every merchant is different, and an exact dollar amount cannot be determined until we can learn about your business.

Usually, within five minutes, we can pre-qualify you over the phone. This will also guarantee that we don’t waste any of your valuable time. However, most Off-shore banks do not assign rates due to risk until after acceptance.  Some factors that help determine your merchant account fees domestically include:

  • Industry type
  • Risk
  • Processing history
  • Expected monthly turnover

  • Daily, three days in arrears
  • Weekly, one week in arrears
  • Weekly, two weeks in arrears

Your acquiring bank will determine your payout schedule. You will receive payouts from your acquiring bank via wire transfer to the bank of your choice. Payouts are available in 18 major currencies.

The rolling reserve fund* is a small amount of money that the bank holds against your payment processing to cover contingencies, such as chargebacks and refunds. The reserve is a fixed percentage amount based on your weekly sales volume, usually between 5-10%. Your acquiring bank will place the money into a rolling reserve fund, and six months later, you’ll receive a payout of these funds. (See the chart below.) While most US banks do not require a rolling reserve fund, many offshore acquiring banks do.

Processing Week Sales Volume Amount Withheld Payout Week and Amount
January 2-8 $10,000 $1,000 July 2-8 for $1,000
January 9-15 $15,000 $1,500 July 9-15 for $1,500
January 16-22 $20,000 $2,000 July 16-22 for $2,000

*Please note that the rolling reserve fund only applies to high risk, international and third party merchant accounts.
