Staffing agencies invoice clients for labor — weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly billing cycles generating $5,000–$100,000+ per client per cycle. When clients pay invoices by card, processing fees at 2.5%–3% create significant costs.
A $20,000 weekly staffing invoice at 2.8% costs **$560 to process**. For an agency processing $100,000–$500,000/month in client card payments, annual fees reach **$33,600 to $168,000**.

| Project Placement Fee | $8,000.00 | $8,320.00 |

Why it works: B2B clients understand processing costs. Large invoices ($15,000+) strongly incentivize ACH/wire. Saving $600 on a $15,000 invoice is an obvious choice for most corporate AP departments.
