Fees (CANADA) - Credit Card Network Fees

Last updated on 14 Sept, 2025

In an effort to be as transparent as possible, we are providing the network fees charged directly by the card brands: VISA and MasterCard.

These are fixed fees and apply to ALL merchant processing companies. No merchant processor can give you a "lower rate" or "better deal" on these. They are also non-negotiable.

  • Processing Integrity Fee - $0.0565 per transaction

  • Commercial Solutions Fee (applies to all VISA Business Solutions products) - 0.0113% on volume

  • CVV2 Pricing for Card Not Present Transactions (assessed on a per-transaction basis when the CVV2 yields a match or no match result) - $0.002825 per Match/No Match result

  • International Cross-Border (applies to any transaction where the country codes of the merchant and the cardholder differ) - 0.45% on volume
