Brief summary of the schedules

We would like to draw your attention to clause 8 Fees, which sets out how we will settle the funds to you.  The Transaction Fees stated in our agreement will be deducted from the funds received by DNAP in respect of each Transaction. The Non-transactional fees will be charged via direct debit, which you are required to maintain at all times unless informed otherwise by us.
