Longwood Businesses Are Eliminating Credit Card Fees. Yours Can Too.
Between Southern Blvd, Longwood Ave, and the Hunts Point corridor, South Bronx bodegas, auto shops, and restaurants are paying 2.5–3.5% of every card swipe to processors that add nothing to their bottom line. Scaler Pay installs a compliant cash discount program for your Longwood business — terminal, signage, and processing included — so accepting cards costs you nothing. Payment processing services provided through licensed processing partners.
A Longwood business processing $30,000/month in card transactions saves $750–$1,050/month on a cash discount program — up to $12,600/year. In a South Bronx market where margins are competed for daily, that's significant money back in the business.
Payment industry cost analysis — illustrative of the savings opportunity, not a guaranteed outcome.
Longwood businesses are losing $400–$1,800/month in processing fees they can legally eliminate.
- 01A Longwood restaurant or auto shop processing $50k/month in card sales pays $1,250–$1,750/month to card networks — $15,000–$21,000/year on an optional expense.
- 02A bodega or small retailer processing $15k/month in cards loses $375–$525 every month to fees that go directly to processors and card networks, not back into the business.
- 03South Bronx businesses already operate on narrow margins. Processing fees represent a substantial percentage of net profit — and they're one of the few costs you can fully eliminate.
- 04Cash discount programs are already running at businesses throughout the South Bronx. Every business still on standard processing is funding their competition's cost advantage.
- 05The program pays for itself within the first week of operation for virtually every qualifying business.
