You can collect your balance in store at any time free of charge. Balances over $100 will be sent via e-transfers at no charge, there is a $2 fee for e-transfer requests under $100.
Please email info@trovefashion.com to request a payout via e-transfer. E-transfers are sent Tuesday and Friday mornings.
The reason for the $2 fee: Corporate bank accounts charge per e-transfer. Due to the numerous requests for e-transfers on small account balances, we have implemented a fee for accounts under $100 to help us recoup some of these costs and control the amount of e-transfers each month.
Note: If you spend your balance back in the store, you will receive 20% off your entire purchase.
