When you pay a vendor, landlord, or payee with a credit card on Online Check Writer, a card processing fee applies to the payment. This page explains what the fee is and how to work out the amount before you pay.
Card processing fee
2.9%
of the payment amount
Formula: Card processing fee = payment amount × 2.9%
| Payment amount | Card processing fee (2.9%) |
|---|---|
| $100 | $2.90 |
| $1,000 | $29.00 |
| $5,000 | $145.00 |
| $25,000 | $725.00 |
Worked example: You pay a $1,000 invoice with your credit card. The card processing fee is $1,000 × 2.9% = $29.00.
Is the fee charged on every card payment?
Yes. The fee applies to each payment you make with a credit card. If you make two card payments, each one has its own card processing fee.
Does a larger payment cost more?
Yes. The fee is a percentage, so it grows with the payment amount.
Are there other fees?
The delivery method you choose for your payment, such as ACH or wire transfer, has its own fee. You can see every fee on the Online Check Writer pricing page.
