What are Network assessment fees?

For every transaction you make, Desjardins pays the cardholder’s payment network assessment fees which are set by the payment network and vary according to a number of factors, such as:

How will I know if interchange fees or network assessment fees have changed?

Any time a payment network announces they’ll be making changes, we’ll update the list of interchange and/or network assessment fees in the Help Centre at least 90 days before the new fees go into effect. As per the code of conduct, we’ll also let you know about the changes through your merchant statement. Your rates won’t change until the date they’re scheduled to.
