Increasing Limits for High Volume Merchants

Paymate provides sellers in Australia the ability to receive credit card payments online, with a limit of $20,000 per month for all Account Types.

Some sellers may need higher limits and we can approve a higher limit if they satisfy our risk assessment.

Additional information that we may ask you for to approve a limit increase

• The nature of your business and products and services sold online.
• Countries from which you expect to receive payments.
• Average dollar value of payments you expect to receive.
• Monthly dollar value of payments you expect to receive.
• The maximum period between when you receive payment and when you ship your goods or deliver services.
• Financial statements about your business.
• Trade References.
• Your history of online payments with Paymate or other payments provider.

Paymate does not guarantee that all applicants will be granted increased limits, which may need to be approved by a financial institution.

Since conditions vary from country to country, we can provide more information on requirements when you apply for a limit increase.

Special Terms & Conditions

Both Paymate and our bank may impose special terms and conditions for receipt of payments with an increased limit.  These may include a reserve account where we hold a security deposit against potential chargebacks. You may also need to execute additional merchant agreements.

Time Taken to Pay Sellers

Paymate Sellers will get paid according to the following schedule, to improve the consistency of the process by allowing for inherent delays that may be caused by the banking system. Payment authorizations will continue to be made the same day or a day later in most cases, so there should be no impact on the ability of sellers to ship against approved orders.

Paymate Fraud Check Process

When a buyer makes a payment to your registered email address, Paymate will first assess fraud risk via our proven risk management systems. On approval, we will submit the payment to our bank for authorization. We will send you and your buyer emails to notify the payment status at each stage. After the payment is authorised by the bank, the funds will be credited directly to your registered bank account.

NEW ZEALAND MERCHANTS
For us to process a refund for Online or MOTO transactions, please deposit the amount you wish to refund into our account and we will refund the buyers card.

A chargeback, occurs when a buyer asks their bank to reverse a credit card transaction that has already cleared. A buyer may file a chargeback with their card issuer based on credit card association regulations and timeframes.

A chargeback is a process that is granted to a cardholder by their credit card company and is initiated outside of Paymate and unfortunately Paymate can’t control the outcome. Paymate will always try to resolve a chargeback by discussing the issue with the buyer. If the case is settled in favour of the buyer, Paymate will reverse the funds to the buyer’s credit card.

Two common reasons for reversals or chargebacks are:

• A buyer’s credit card number is stolen and used fraudulently
• A buyer makes a purchase, but believes that the seller failed to fulfil their side of the agreement (for example, they did not get the item, or received an item that was very different from the seller’s description or the item was damaged when the buyer received it)

All sellers who accept credit card payments run the risk of being liable for chargebacks.

Chargebacks are among the unfortunate costs of doing business. Many sellers factor this cost into their business risk model.

Certain laws and credit card issuer policies usually allow buyers to file chargebacks weeks, or sometimes months, after the initial transaction occurs.
