The annual fee is $99, which will show up on your merchant statement in July every year. There is also a requirement to do an annual PCI survey.
The survey questions must be completed and submitted annually. The purpose of the survey is to make sure all merchants are following good practices in preventing credit card fraud, which is a major problem in the U.S. Every year you will get emails to remind you to do the survey again.
