Helcim prides itself on being very transparent about its offering of services. Currently, there is no monthly fee structure on this platform. Users are charged on the spot, depending on the kind of transactions they carry out.

You will be able to secure discounts on the rates depending on volume. There are also no setup fees, cancellations, or quarterly fees. If there is a chargeback and you win the dispute there will be no fee. Otherwise, it will cost $15.

There will be auto-pause billing in place, which means that there will be no monthly fee if there have been no payments processed during that given month. Overall, the fee structure at Helcim is pretty affordable thanks to the use of using an interchange rate for every transaction.

Other Transactions

Since Helcim charges differently for its in-person and keyed-in transactions, here is a rundown of the different charges for transacting specific monetary volumes:

*Note that each of the transaction charges includes interchange rates.
