How credit card processing fees work

  • Patients pay you online.  Learn more here
  • The full payment amount is deposited to your bank account the next day (for credit card payments).  
  • At the end of the month, Banquest (or your legacy payment processor) will bill you for the credit card processing fees associated with all the payments you received, according to their fees. Fees listed here: banquest.com/arproactive

For example 

  • You receive a patient payment of $100 on Jan 1, and another patient payment of $100 on Jan 10.
  • You will see deposits in your bank of $100 on Jan 2, and another patient payment of $100 on Jan 11. (Credit card payments are deposited the next day.  eCheck payments are deposited in ~5 days.)
  • On Feb 1 (or thereafter) you will receive a bill and breakdown from your credit card processor.  It may be something like
    • Total payments received $200
    • Total fees due: (2.89% x $200) + (2 x $0.25) = $6.28
  • AR Proactive does not see or know the breakdown of your credit card processing fees.  Only Banquest (or your credit card processor) can supply that information.
