Free for you as the receiver. Keep 100% of what you earn and let your customers cover the minimal fees, or choose to absorb them. Choose the payout mode that fits your cashflow.

Understanding the Flat Fee

The flat fee (₦20 or ₦30) is your automatic bank settlement fee. It only applies when Auto-Payout is turned on. When Auto-Payout is off, only the percentage fee is charged per transaction, and you pay a flat ₦100 fee only when you manually request a withdrawal.
