Staffing Agencies: Processing Fees on Invoice Payments

Staffing companies process large client invoice payments. Network Offset Pricing eliminates the cost.

By David C.

Key Takeaway

Staffing companies process large client invoice payments. Network Offset Pricing eliminates the cost.

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**.

Network Offset Pricing for Staffing

InvoiceCash/ACH/WireCard
Weekly Staffing ($15K)$15,000.00$15,600.00
Monthly Staffing ($50K)$50,000.00$52,000.00
Project Placement Fee$8,000.00$8,320.00
Temp-to-Hire Conversion$5,000.00$5,200.00

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.
