Tiers are useful for grouping the transactions and setting prices for the groups respectively. You can only set up tiers for transaction-related fees. You can select a tier type for the price.
There are 3 types of tiered pricing models in Tuum:
Based on the transaction amount. For example, if the outgoing SWIFT payment is less than 10,000 USD then the transaction-related fee amount is 20 EUR. If the SWIFT payment is more than 10,000 USD then the related fee is 25 EUR.
Based on the transaction amount in tier currency. For example, if the outgoing SWIFT USD payment amount expressed in EUR is less than 10,000 EUR (up to 10,950 USD payment depending on the FX base rate), then the transaction-related fee amount is 20 EUR. If the SWIFT USD payment expressed in EUR is more than 10,000 EUR then the related fee is 25 EUR.
Based on the transaction grouping rule. For example, for the first 100 SEPA payments from the virtual accounts during the week, the transaction-related fee amount is 1 EUR per payment. For all the next SEPA payments from the virtual accounts during the same week, the fee is 0.80 EUR per payment.
