These fees are our 'starting out' fees. Once you start increasing your volume or if you already have high volume we are more than willing to negotiate for a fee reduction. Simply contact us on support@payfast.co.za.

We also offer reduced fees for registered non-profit organisations, charities, and NPOs with our Cause accounts.
