Puna Pay

How our pricing works

We use interchange-plus pricing: you pay the card networks’ wholesale cost, plus one small markup you can see on every statement. That’s the whole model.

Anatomy of a sale

What actually happens when a card is charged

Interchange is the wholesale fee set by Visa, Mastercard, and the card-issuing banks — the same for every processor. The only part a processor controls is the markup on top. We keep ours small, fixed, and printed on your statement.

The card networks take their cut

Interchange — set by Visa, Mastercard, and the issuing banks. Identical for every processor; nobody gets a better deal on this part. We pass it through at cost.

We add one visible markup

Small and fixed — never buried in a blended rate. It's the only part of your cost we control, so it's the only line we ask you to judge us on.

The rest is yours

Deposited to your bank account the next business day, with every fee reconciled on a statement you can actually read.

Your exact numbers depend on your card mix — that’s why we quote from a real statement, not a rate card.

What you’ll never pay

These are the fees that quietly inflate an effective rate at other processors. At Bittsi Pay, every one of them is zero.

The three ways processors price — compared honestly

Each model can be right for someone. Flat rate is simplest at very low volume; above roughly $20k/month, transparency usually wins.

Flat rate

One blended percentage on every card, whatever it actually costs to process.

Simple to understand; fine at very low volume
You overpay on debit and basic cards — the blend is set high to cover the worst case

Best under ~$5k/month in card volume.

Tiered

Transactions sorted into "qualified," "mid-" and "non-qualified" buckets, each with its own rate.

Low advertised headline rate
The processor decides the buckets — most transactions land in the expensive ones

Rarely the right answer for anyone.

The card networks' wholesale cost, passed through at cost, plus one fixed markup you can see.

Pricing questions, answered plainly

It splits your cost into two visible parts: interchange (the wholesale fee set by Visa, Mastercard, and card-issuing banks — the same for every processor) plus our fixed markup. You see both on every statement, so you always know what the processing itself cost and what we earned.
