International Transaction Fees
MinuteDock is a New Zealand-based company. Some international banks, particularly in the United States, may charge an additional fee for "international transactions" or "foreign transactions" — even when we charge you in your local currency (such as USD or GBP).
This is not a charge from MinuteDock. It's a fee charged by your bank or credit card issuer when you make a purchase from an international merchant. The fee typically ranges from 0% to 3% of the transaction amount.
Traditionally these fees only applied to purchases made physically in a foreign country. However, in recent years many banks have expanded their definition of "foreign purchase" to include online purchases from companies not incorporated in your country of residence.
Unfortunately, we can't avoid this type of fee if your bank charges for purchases from international businesses. Larger companies avoid this by establishing offices in multiple countries to act as "local merchants," but as a small team, we're not able to do this at the moment.
If you're unsure whether your bank charges international transaction fees, check with your bank or review your credit card fee schedule.
Alternative Payment Methods
For large enterprise accounts, we can arrange alternative payment methods such as bank transfer on a case-by-case basis.
If you have a large team and would like to discuss alternative payment options, please contact us at support@minutedock.com.
Common Billing Questions
What happens if my payment fails?
If a payment fails, you'll receive an email notification asking you to update or check your payment details.
We'll automatically retry the charge once a day for a few days. If you need additional time to resolve the payment issue, contact us at support@minutedock.com and we can arrange a grace period.
If the payment isn't resolved after the retry period, your account will become inactive. When you try to log in, you'll be directed to the billing and payment page to update your details. Don't worry — your account data remains safe and will be available again as soon as you resubscribe.
How do I access past invoices?
You can view and download past invoices from the Billing Details page in your Account settings.
Invoice and receipt PDFs are also automatically emailed to your billing email address after each payment, so you can access them from your email at any time.
