This means that the bank will simply advance the money that your account is short and allow the check to be cashed.... a fee is charged for this overdraft protection. Overdraft fees typically range between $20 and $35 per overdraft. In addition, interest may be charged on any outstanding balance(that is the money the bank had to advance) until those funds are repaid. Naturally, overdraft charges can be very expensive, particularly if you aren’t aware of your account balance at all times, or are careless with the checks you issue. 6, record 1, English, - overdraft%20protection%20fee

As a Web merchant, you will pay separate merchant-bank account charges. Expect to pay setup fees of up to $200, a monthly statement fee(typically $10), a per-transaction fee(around 30 cents), and a discount rate ranging from 1% to 4% of each sale. The latter is the interest the card company charges for giving you the money up front before it debits the customer's account. A discount rate(determined by your credit history) of less than 2. 7% is considered good. Reserve fees-a portion of sales retained to cover refunds-can be as large as 15%. The bank can hold reserves for anywhere from several weeks to six months. 1, record 4, English, - reserve%20fees
