2% transaction fee. No setup fee. No monthly fee.
With postage and stationery, the costs of cheque runs can really add up. With Mass Payments, you pay 2% of each recipient's payment amount up to a maximum of $1.25CAD per recipient, if you send within Canada or to the U.S.
For payments sent to countries outside Canada and US, your fees will be 2% of each recipient's payment amount up to a maximum of $24CAD per recipient. Your recipient pays nothing to receive your payment, so they always get the full amount.
