Cheq Fees
What’s important to you?
Fees
Sending funds to Cheq accounts, withdrawing funds to exchanges, and sending funds from one Cheq account to another carries a 0% transaction fee (free!). We charge a 2% fee for withdrawals direct to a bank account.
Integrations
Cheq has a simple API that allows partners to build powerful payment platforms. Additionally, for customers most interested in accepting crypto, we have a Zapier integration so you can track payments in over 4000+ applications including Google Sheets.
Infrastructure
Under the hood, your payments are made just like a standard crypto transfer, with all the speed and security you are already used to.
Cheq adds and easy-to-use user interface to make transfers easy and accessible to everyone, as well as adding useful tools like integrations and notifications.
Ease of use
Cheq's API is one of the most straightforward in the payments industry. With just a few endpoints, developers can accept payments, issue payouts, and initiate transfers between accounts.
Cheq accounts require no crypto knowledge to use. Anyone who has used PayPal will find Cheq instantly familiar.
Non-developers can build sophisticated workflows around collecting payments by connecting Cheq to 4000+ other applications using our Zapier integration.
Customer Support
Cheq has dedicated human support for every user available through live chat or email.
Developers can book calls with technical members of the Cheq team to get hands on help with their integration in one click from inside the 'Developers' section of the app.
Currencies
Cheq's default currency is USDC on the Polygon network. Cheq supports accepting payments in USDC, DAI, BUSD, USDT on the Ethereum, BNB Chain and Polygon chains when an external wallet is connected.
In October 2022, Cheq will be launching cash payouts in USD, GBP, EUR, CAD and JPY.
Security
Cheq cannot touch your funds at rest or in transit. Funds flow directly from the customer to the merchant, through the same mechanism all crypto transfers go through.
By not interfering with the usual tansfer mechanism, you can be sure that your funds are going to arrive safely like the millions of other transfers that are sent every day.
KYC Checks
KYC is not enforced by default unless you want to connect a Cheq account to a partner that requires KYC.
If you are asked to perform KYC, it is a straightforward process where you provide a scan of your government issued ID and a facial scan. Results are usually returned within an hour.
Fraud
Crypto transactions are usually anonymous, making fraud a commonplace issue.
Cheq conducts wallet address screening with Chainalysis on all wallets that interact with the platform, and asks for KYC from active merchants to minimise the likelihood of fraudulent behaviour on the platform.
Use Cases
Cheq is a powerful platform that can be used for a variety of use-cases.
Our crypto-acceptance features are used by NFT marketplaces, SaaS businesses, startups raising funding, and events companies selling conference tickets.
Our crypto-payouts features have won the backing of the leading global payroll companies.
Developer Tools
If you like Stripe, you'll love Cheq.
Our API is built with the same principles in mind, making moving money easy.
Because crypto is inherently programmable, the integration is much easier than you think. Plus, you can book time with our tech team to get free hands on help with your integration.
Uptime
Payment flows have to be robust and always available.
Cheq has a best in class 99.99% uptime record. Because the blockchain provides the core of our infrastructure, we are runnning on the world's most battle tested payment rails.
Some of our customers
Pay.so made it possible for us to lead by example and accept crypto for our web3 event. Additionally, the fact that they don’t charge a transaction fee meant more budget to put on an amazing experience for our guests.
Henry Horsefall
Founder and CEO, Zebu Live
My client doesn't usually pay in crypto, so sharing a Pay.so link with them made life much easier. They were able to pay with confidence, and I received my funds instantly to my MetaMask wallet which I immediately cashed out to Binance with no extra fee.
Antonio Garcia
Upwork Freelancer
Pay.so allowed me to accept USDC like a business. My investors loved the experience, giving them confidence when transferring large sums of money.

Around half of our sales are made with crypto. Without Pay.so we'd have to either only support credit card or put up with expensive fees and a sub-standard crypto checkout process.
