How do I read the Miscellaneous (MISC) Fees section on my statement?
Copied to clipboard
The MISC (Miscellaneous) Fees section on your statement is where you'll find charges that don’t fall under standard categories like processing or authorization fees. Think of it as a catch-all for smaller, often service-related fees that vary depending on your account activity.
These might include the following:
- Monthly service fees
- Regulatory or compliance fees
- PCI non-compliance charges
- Batch header fees
- Voice authorization fees
Below is an example image of what this section may look like on your merchant statement:
Each of these fees serves a specific purpose: some are tied to maintaining your account, others are triggered by specific actions or requirements. Since every merchant’s setup is different, the exact fees listed can vary from month to month. You can check your merchant agreement to understand more about those additional fees.
