Summary: fees fall into five groups — transaction processing, declines, disputes, account maintenance, and funding. Most are charged automatically against the Card Account balance and deducted from the available funds at the time they're incurred.
| ① |
Transaction & currency fees |
| Fee | Amount |
| Same-currency purchase (online or in-store) | Free |
| Foreign transaction fee | $0.55 + 2.75% |
| Transactions below $5.00 | $0.10 |
| ② |
Decline fees |
| Fee | Amount |
| Domestic decline fee | $0.15 |
| International decline fee | $0.55 |
| Prohibited merchant decline fee | $0.15 |
| Domestic purchase reversed/returned | $0.55 |
| International purchase reversed | $0.75 |
| International refund received | $0.55 |
Applies regardless of decline cause — insufficient funds, prohibited MCC, or the 95% balance policy all count.
| ③ |
Dispute & risk fees |
| Fee | Amount |
| Chargeback / dispute fee (per dispute, any outcome) | $50.00 |
| Decline abuse fee (balance <$2.50 + >20% decline rate) | Variable |
The chargeback fee is non-refundable and applies whether the dispute is accepted, rejected, or withdrawn — including 3DS-authenticated transactions that get auto-declined as a dispute outcome. The decline abuse fee is a separate risk-monitoring trigger: low balance combined with a high decline rate on a single card can result in the card being terminated as well as fee assessment.
| ④ |
Account & funding fees |
| Fee | Amount |
| Monthly account activation fee | $2.50 |
| Monthly maintenance fee (Sec. 7, ~30 days post-activation) | $2.50/mo |
| Same Day ACH origination | $4.00 |
Maintenance fees are deducted automatically if balance allows; if available balance is below the fee amount, only the remaining balance is deducted — this never creates a negative balance or extends credit. A card sitting at zero balance for 21 continuous days may be permanently closed.
|
Important Model the chargeback fee and decline fees into your unit economics if your use case is exposed to either pattern at volume — both are flat per-event charges that scale linearly with transaction count, independent of transaction size. Third-party fees (ATM operators, POS surcharges) can also apply on top of this schedule and are outside Swype's control. |
