Paul,
With a 5-digit-per-month retainer fee I'm not going to "lawyer" them and
add on the US$10 bank fee. I am very happy to pay that, especially since my
bank doesn't charge me a fee for receiving the wire transfer (which they
would if the account balance was below a threshold amount.)
All that said, they should pay your entire invoice. You shouldn't worry
about their wire fee--that is their problem, and their deduction.
Bill them ten dollars less, let them pay the entire invoice, and the wire
fee is their problem.
You will never have to think about the wire fee, and your invoices come
out right.
They will just have to bring an extra ten bucks to the bank each
time...or, start using ACH, which is probably free, and easier to
automate.
