Focused review
Fee & Ledger Assessment
Trace MDR, interchange, FX markups, and reserve holds from gateway fee reports into the accounts that finance actually books.
Purpose
Gateway fee reports rarely match how finance wants costs categorized. This assessment rebuilds the fee path for a sample of transactions and shows where markups, blended rates, or reserve releases distort the P&L.
Included
- Fee schedule vs. actual deducted amounts for the sample
- FX conversion points if multi-currency settlement is used
- Treatment of rolling reserves and chargeback holdbacks
- Recommendations for chart-of-accounts mapping that finance can maintain
Who benefits
Merchants renegotiating MDR, CFOs preparing board packs, and processors explaining partner fee waterfalls to merchant finance teams.
