Novo's fee schedule gives the outgoing domestic wire and the express check deposit only as a ceiling, so those are the most they cost. International wires carry a provider fee Novo shows before you send, which it does not publish. Standard ACH, receiving wires and mailed checks are free, and the schedule lists a fee only for express check deposits, not standard ones.

Below $33.33 a payment pays the $0.50 minimum; from $1,333.33 it pays the $20 cap, so the fee's share falls as payments grow. Standard ACH, which takes longer, is free at any size.

The wire is priced at Novo's published ceiling, so the agency's month is the most it would cost. The shop pays only the part of its ATM fees above Novo's $7 refund.

What Novo does not publish

Two of Novo's fees are published only as a ceiling, “up to”: the outgoing domestic wire ($45) and the express check deposit (2%). International wires carry a provider fee shown in the app before you send. Novo's FAQ page also lags its fee schedule: it still says Novo cannot send domestic wires and mentions a $27 insufficient funds fee, where the schedule lists the wire and $0.

Not in the figures: the exact domestic wire and express deposit fees below their ceilings, international wire fees, card payments you accept through Novo's integrations, and cashback on Novo's cards.
