U.S. merchants paid $172 billion in processing fees last year. For most of our clients, that number hits zero their very first statement.
Calculate My SavingsThey take a percentage of every dollar you earn — no matter the month, no matter the margin. Here's what it actually costs you.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Card fees are already built in. Your processor is paid. Your statement at the end of the month shows $0 in processing fees.
The program works across virtually every industry — and it's available to you today.
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.
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."

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.

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.
Our free tool projects your exact savings based on your actual revenue and volume. Three minutes. No obligation.
