🚨 GLOBAL PAYMENTS MERCHANTS — HAVE YOU READ YOUR LATEST PROCESSING STATEMENT?
If your business currently processes with Global Payments, there are some important fee notices you should be aware of.
According to a recent September 2026 merchant statement, Global Payments has announced two charges that could affect your processing costs.
💰 1. $755 Annual System Enhancement Fee
Global Payments states that merchants may see a $755 Annual System Enhancement Fee on their October 2026 statement.
The notice also states that merchants who object to this fee may have the option to terminate their processing agreement without penalty by providing written notice in accordance with their agreement within 90 days of the invoice containing the fee.
💳 2. FraudSight — $19.95 Monthly Fee After Free Trial
Global Payments has also announced a 60-day free trial of its FraudSight fraud management service.
Here's what merchants should know:
✔ The service is being automatically enabled for eligible accounts.
✔ Merchants who do not want the service must opt out before November 28, 2026, to avoid the stated December billing charge.
✔ Businesses with multiple MIDs may need to submit a separate opt-out request for each account.
📢 WHY DOES THIS MATTER?
Because these fees can add up quickly, especially for businesses with multiple merchant accounts.
A $755 annual charge combined with $19.95 per month adds up to $994.40 over 12 months if both charges apply for a full year.
And that's before considering your regular processing rates, equipment fees, and other monthly charges.
This is exactly why we encourage business owners to READ THEIR PROCESSING STATEMENTS.
Important information about annual fees, new services, pricing adjustments, and contract terms can appear in the statement messages that many merchants overlook.
