Are there any application or setup fees?

The short answer is no

CardCorp never charges application, setup, ongoing administration fees, or account fees—you pay only for the services you use.

Each acquirer has a schedule of fees that may change from time to time. As of writing, none of the partner acquirers we nominate to provide merchant accounts charges an application or setup fee.

None of our partner acquirers charges monthly account fees for low- and medium-risk businesses. Still, businesses in certain high-risk categories may have to pay a monthly account-monitoring fee.

It's also worth noting that Visa and Mastercard designate certain industries as high brand risk (HBR) and require all businesses operating in these categories to be registered in HBR monitoring programs, which attracts an annual registration fee.
