processing fee
Handling service charge
A processing fee is a charge for handling a transaction or application—the administrative cost of moving paperwork through a system.
Banks charge processing fees on loans, ticket sellers add them to purchases, and landlords may require them with rental applications.
The fee ostensibly covers labor and overhead, though critics note it often exceeds actual costs: The processing fee was nearly as much as the tickets themselves.
