United States only: What is the Card Present Fee on Anton?

This fee applies only to locations in the United States. Locations in all other countries do not pay this fee.

From 1 October 2026, Airwallet charges a Card Present Fee of $0,15 for each machine start that is paid on an Anton terminal at a location in the United States.

One start, one fee. The fee is for each machine start, not for each payment. It is a flat fee, with no percentage. Airwallet takes the fee from your payout. The price that your users pay at the machine does not change.

The fee applies when a user pays on Anton with a bank card or a phone to start a machine.

The fee does not apply when

a user pays in the Airwallet app.
the location is in a country other than the United States.

For example

A user pays $4,00 on Anton to start one washer. Airwallet takes $0,15 from your payout.
A user pays on Anton to start three machines in one payment. This is three starts, so Airwallet takes $0,45 from your payout.
A user pays in the Airwallet app to start the same three machines. There is no fee.

To keep the fee low, ask your users to pay in the Airwallet app. See Supported payment methods.
