Avoid The 3% Card Fee
Beginning August 2026, a 3% processing fee applies to all card transactions. ACH bank draft stays completely fee-free, and every dollar saved goes straight back into protecting your community.
A simple switch that keeps more of your membership where it belongs.
ACH bank draft is the most direct way to keep your Rural Metro Fire membership active without losing a cent to processing fees. The change takes about two minutes inside your member account, and your next billing cycle is completely fee-free.
Every dollar not absorbed by card processing stays in your community, funding the equipment, people, and training that protect it.

- No processing fees. ACH bank draft is not subject to the 3% card processing surcharge.
- Secure by design. Your bank details are encrypted and stored safely for every automatic draft.
- No card expiration issues. No more interruptions when you card expires or reissued.

What Your Switch Helps Fund
Every dollar not spent on processing fees stays in your community, funding the equipment, people, and training that protect it.
New Apparatus
Your membership helps keep our engines, ladder trucks, and rescue vehicles maintained and ready. ACH means less of that funding is absorbed by processing fees before it can do any good.
More Personnel
The crew that shows up when you call is there because members like you make it possible. ACH helps ensure more of your membership goes toward keeping them there.
Training & Gear
Ongoing training and quality protective equipment require steady investment. ACH helps protect more of that funding from disappearing into processing costs.
