Plans and prices
| Plan | Price | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Interchange++ (IC++) | Custom quote | Transparent pass-through of interchange + scheme fees plus a negotiated markup; markup typically ~0.1%-0.4% for well-qualified merchants. No setup or account-maintenance fees. |
| Flat-rate (blended) | Custom quote | Single blended rate set by business profile and risk category; indicative effective rates ~0.8-1.8% for growth-stage merchants down to ~0.2-0.7% for large enterprises (plus scheme fees). |
| Charity pricing | Free processing | Free payment processing for registered charities. |
What to watch for on the bill
- No publicly published rates; pricing is entirely quote-based and requires contacting sales
- Integration can feel technical and benefits from dedicated developer resources
