Fee Details

Pricing is based on EDC’s assessment of the risks associated with a customer and the nature of the business that they are in.

Account-PSG fees are usually calculated using an EDC risk-based pricing grid and are expressed as a percentage rate, per month of coverage, applied against the value and duration of each bank instrument being supported.

The Fee is payable in advance for the full duration of the bank instrument prior to coverage becoming effective. Account-PSG fees are billed to RBC directly.
