Change in payments
Hello and Happy New Year!
We hope that you all had a wonderful holiday season!
There have been a couple unexpected bill increases and to help us compensate NST is changing the payment platform. It will still operate through the same way through our website software. NST has been covering all merchant credit card and processing fees for a couple of years. Before that NST families covered this expense. We are going back to having families cover the merchant charges, but with the option to pay by check. These changes will take effect with the February 1st billing.
- Payments are still due by the 1st of the month and for cards that are enrolled there will be an auto payment on the 1st.
- $20 late fee will apply on the 5th (instead of the 15th) of the month if payment hasn't been received.
- You can pay by credit/debit card (that is what you have on your account now) but there will be a 2.95% merchant fee + .30 transaction charge. For example: Amount due is $125+$3.99 merchant fee & transaction cost. Total charged would be $128.99.
- You can set up a bank ACH on your account for a 1.25% fee. For example: Amount due is $125+1.56. Total debited $126.56.
- You can send in a check to NST, PO Box 451, Newport, OR 97365.
- Reoccuring monthly charges will be applied on the 20th so you can see what will be due on the 1st.
- This above information can also be found on the Team Info/Fees tab.
Accessing your account payment setup:
- www.newportswimteam.net, My Account-Account Info-Payment Setup
- You can keep your card on file.
- If you plan to send in a check you need to deactive or delete your card.
- You can set up a bank ACH in the section if you prefer.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you,
Kasey Postlewait
