One flat rate. No card-mix maths.

Different rates for debit, credit, premium and business cards make statements impossible to check. A flat rate keeps it simple.

The problem, and the fix

What's costing you, and how Wavepay fixes it.

The problem

Different rates for every card type, so you never know what a sale costs.

With Wavepay

0.89% on every domestic eftpos, Visa and Mastercard card.

The problem

Scheme fees and extra charges on top of the headline rate.

With Wavepay

Scheme fees are included in the flat rate.

The problem

Rates quoted without GST, so the real cost is higher.

With Wavepay

Our 0.89% already includes GST.

Flat rate vs interchange plus

Interchange-plus pricing can work out cheaper for very large businesses with lots of debit transactions, but it's harder to predict and check. For most small businesses, a low flat rate is simpler and easier to budget for.

The Wavepay rate

0.89% per card transaction on domestic eftpos, Visa and Mastercard, including contactless and mobile wallets, GST included. Taking over $50,000 a month? Ask us for a custom rate.
