    Businesses on Roosevelt Avenue and 82nd Street processing an average of $40,000/month in card transactions save $1,000–$1,400/month on a cash discount program — $12,000–$16,800/year.

    • 01A South Asian or Chinese restaurant on Roosevelt Ave doing $50k/month in card sales pays $1,250–$1,750/month to processors — $15,000–$21,000/year that could stay in the business.
    • 02Korean and Latin grocery stores in Elmhurst and Jackson Heights running 1–3% net margins cannot absorb 2.5–3.5% processing fees without raising prices or accepting the loss.
    • 03Nail salons and beauty businesses on 82nd Street paying 2.75% on $20k/month in card volume lose $550/month — $6,600/year — that never had to go anywhere.

    [05]_FAQ

    Questions, answered.
