Understanding service fees

BorrowMe charges small service fees to maintain our platform and provide protection for users.

Fee Structure

For Borrowers

  • Service fee: 10% of the rental price
  • This fee covers platform maintenance, customer support, and payment processing
  • For Lenders

  • Service fee: 5% of earnings
  • This fee covers payment processing and platform services
  • Example

    If an item is listed for $100:

  • Borrower pays: $100 + $10 service fee = $110
  • Lender receives: $100 - $5 service fee = $95
  • Payment Processing

  • All payments are processed securely through our platform
  • Funds are held in escrow until the rental is complete
  • Lenders receive payment 2-3 business days after successful return
  • Refunds
