Balance Platform Fee report

The Balance Platform Fee Report is a monthly report available to balance platforms that shows all per-transaction payment fees and the processing fees related to the transactions of your balance platform users.

The Balance Platform Fee Report breaks down transactional fees incurred at the balance platform user level. Transactional fees are costs that are incurred on individual transactions such as processing fees, scheme fees, interchange, chargeback, and refund fees.

The fee report is available monthly on the first day of the month. You can easily combine multiple reports to add month-over-month breakdowns by platform user.

If a fee cannot be tied to a platform user, that fee is reported on the liable account. It is important to note that the fee report does not reflect where fees are billed, but where the fees were incurred.

You can generate these reports in your Customer Area either automatically based on a schedule, or manually for a specific month.
