Penny Testing

A Penny Test Deposit is sent to each Domestic Partner when they complete the billing setup to validate their bank account information.

All Penny testing is paid by Everflow and will reference "Everflow Technologies", and will state "ACCTVERIFY" in the description.

Penny Tests are not sent for International Partners.


Fees

Fees That Apply

Only Payment Transaction Fees apply. No Platform fees.

Types of Payment Transaction Fees and their Cost

  • $3.00 USD per Domestic ACH Transaction.

  • $25.00 USD per Domestic Wire Transfer.

  • $29 USD for International USD Under $10,000 amount

  • $40 USD for International USD Over $10,000 amount

  • FX Fees apply to any USD to International Currency Payments

Note: All invoices generated for an international partner that are below 50$ are not payable. The invoice amount will roll-over to the next invoice for that partner in order to have a cumulative amount greater than 50$, becoming payable. This is to protect you and your partners against international transfer fees for small payments.

Who Pays the Fees

Fees can be pushed onto the Payee and taken out of the payment amount or paid by the Payer and extra funds will need to be deposited into the Everflow Pay account to cover transaction fees.

Fees can also be split, for example: ACH fees can be paid by the Payer and have Payees cover Wire fees.

How to Pay Account Fees

If the fees are being paid by the affiliate/partner (payee) the fee will be taken out of the payment sent.

If the payer is paying the fees they will be withdrawn from the Everflow Pay wallet.

All International Fees are paid by the partner and taken out of the payment sent.
