The Number Nobody Shows You

Your Processor Is Your
Most Expensive Employee.

They take a percentage of every dollar you earn — no matter the month, no matter the margin. Here's what it actually costs you.

Monthly Revenue $50,000 Card-accepting business
Average Processing Rate 3% Often higher with hidden fees
Monthly Loss $1,500 Every. Single. Month.
Annual Loss $18,000 A full salary gone to the wrong person

Doing $100K/month? That's $36,000 a year. Most business owners have accepted this as a permanent cost of doing business. It isn't.

Cash Discount Processing

Legally Structured.
Federally Protected. Simple.

This isn't a loophole. It's a federally protected pricing model used by tens of thousands of businesses — and it eliminates your processing fees entirely.

1

Your Posted Price Includes the Fee

The price on your shelf, menu, or invoice is your card price — it accounts for the cost of processing. No surcharge. No surprise at checkout.

2

Cash Customers Pay Less

Customers paying with cash receive an automatic discount off the posted price. You're rewarding cash — which is legal in all 50 states under the Durbin Amendment.

3

You Keep 100% of Every Sale

Card fees are already built in. Your processor is paid. Your statement at the end of the month shows $0 in processing fees.

Restaurants: Two Savings Opportunities, One Conversation.

For a restaurant doing $80,000/month in card volume, processing fees alone cost $28,800 a year before you've touched a food cost or a payroll line. Cash discount processing addresses that directly. And for our hospitality clients, it compounds further when combined with the FICA Tip Credit — two programs, one advisor conversation, a material difference in what you take home.

The Part Most Processors Don't Tell You

Most Businesses Don't Just
Break Even on Fees.
They Come Out Ahead.

Eliminating your processing fees saves money. But the businesses that implement this program strategically tend to see something unexpected when they run their numbers at the end of the first quarter.

"I thought I was just cutting a cost. The advisor walked me through the full picture in about ten minutes — I signed up the same call."

— Restaurant Owner, New Jersey

That conversation belongs with one of our advisors — where we run your actual numbers and show you precisely what it looks like for your business.

Common Questions

What Business Owners Ask First

Straight answers to the four questions we get on every call.

Surcharging adds a fee on top of your posted price — that has restrictions. A cash discount reduces the price for cash payers from a posted card price. That model is explicitly protected under the federal Durbin Amendment and legal in all 50 states. Our program is structured as a cash discount, set up correctly from day one.

Most don't. Customers have been seeing this model at gas stations for decades. Clear signage at entry and checkout handles the heavy lifting — and we provide all required materials as part of your setup. Most businesses find the adjustment period is measured in days, not weeks.

The program runs on a flat monthly subscription — not a percentage of your volume. Your cost is fixed and predictable regardless of what you process. For businesses doing $50K+ per month, that flat fee is typically a fraction of what you currently pay on a percentage basis. Your free analysis shows the exact before-and-after.

Most businesses are fully operational within 1–2 weeks of signing — including equipment, signage, and staff orientation. Your first zero-fee statement follows your first complete billing cycle.
