Avoidable
Batch header fee
On a statement: BATCH FEE
Charged each time your terminal or software 'closes the batch' — sends the day's transactions in for settlement. Twenty years ago that involved a phone line; today it is an automated file. Some processors still charge $0.25–$0.35 per batch, which is a small line that exists mostly because nobody questions it.
What a fair version looks like
$0–$0.10 per batch. Many processors have eliminated it.
What 321 Swipe would do
We have it removed, and check that your system isn't batching several times a day for no reason.

Send it and we'll tell you — along with everything else on there that shouldn't be. A phone photo of the fee page is enough.
