This estimates the Holdyn protected transaction fee only. Payment processing, withdrawal, and currency conversion fees are separate where applicable.

Paying in stages? The tiers run across the cumulative amount funded. A $50,000 deal in five $10,000 payments costs $250 + $250 + $150 + $150 + $150 = $950, the same as funding it all at once.

Choose who pays. The sender covers the fee by default. You can also assign it to the beneficiary or split it 50/50. Both parties see the breakdown.

The full agreed amount is held. A sender-paid fee is added at funding. A beneficiary-paid fee is deducted when funds leave, including when they return to the sender.

How fees are charged and refunded

Funding and fee timing. The fee is earned once the transaction is Active and the block is funded, and its amount is locked at that moment. For a single-stage or fund-all-upfront transaction, it applies once at funding. For fund-per-payment or recurring per-payment-event funding, it applies as each payment is funded, never to money not yet funded. The tiers and $10 minimum run across the cumulative amount, so the total matches funding the full transaction at once. The minimum protected transaction amount is $1 USD.

Who pays. The sender pays by default; the beneficiary can cover the fee or both parties can split it equally. The full agreed amount is always held. A sender-borne share is charged at funding on top of that amount. A beneficiary-borne share is retained against the block and deducted on any disbursement, including money returned to the sender. For a $1,000 transaction with a $25 beneficiary-paid fee, either the beneficiary receives $975 on release or the sender receives $975 on return.

Cancellation and refunds. While a transaction is Pending or In Review, the Holdyn fee is fully reimbursable to the wallet of the party who bore it. Once Active, it is non-refundable, including in a dispute. The principal is returned according to the cancellation or dispute outcome, with any beneficiary-borne fee deducted on disbursement as described above.

Payment processing. Payments are processed by Stripe, Inc., a licensed money transmitter. Holdyn does not hold or custody user funds. Stripe processing costs are passed through separately to the funding party and never absorbed by Holdyn. Your bank’s own charges may also apply. See Terms of Service §5 for the full fee policy.
