PitneyWorks fees explained

PitneyWorks Fees Explained: Transaction fee, Late payment fee, Daily Interest, Returned Payment Fee.

Transaction Fee

A transaction fee is applied anytime postage is added to your meter. The amount charged for each transaction fee is determined when the Pitney Bowes contract is signed.

  • Tip: Avoid incurring multiple fees by downloading enough postage to last the month.

Finance charge

A finance charge is assessed on your PitneyWorks account if you maintain an outstanding balance.

  • Tip: Avoid this charge by paying the balance in full by the due date on your monthly statement.

Overage Fee

Each meter has a postage download threshold built into the agreement based on the recommended postage volume for each meter.  Downloads exceeding that threshold are charged a meter postage overage fee of 1% with a minimum of $1.

  • Tip: Avoid this fee by refilling monthly for smaller amounts.  If you routinely exceed the limit, you may be better served by upgrading to a bigger meter.

Late Payment Fee

A late payment fee is applied when the 'Minimum Payment' due is not received by the due date. Check payments will be posted to the account within 10 days from the date mailed.
