American Express cards incur higher interchange costs from American Express for processing payments and therefore have higher rates than other domestic cards in all currencies

🇦🇺 If you are taking AUD payments in Australia



In Person Payments


Using the Stripe Reader S700 or BBPOS WisePOS E Reader - sold separately

2.2% + A$0.10 per successful charge for domestic cards
4% + A$0.10 per successful charge for non international cards

Online Payments


Invoice payments or Online Booking Pre-payments

2.2% + A$0.30 for domestic cards

Please note:

These rates are subject to variation

If cross-border network costs are required on any transaction, an additional 1% is added

If currency conversion is required on any transaction, an additional 2% will be added. Currency conversion occurs when the presentment currency (what the patient sees) is different from the settlement currency (the default currency of the bank account linked to your Stripe account). It is always best to present your default currency to patients for payment.

If you process payments using alternate card/currency combinations a fallback rate of 3.5% + 20p per transaction will be applied
