    A Morris Heights auto shop processing $45,000/month in card charges recovers $1,125–$1,575/month on a cash discount program — $13,500–$18,900/year. For businesses with high average ticket sizes, the per-transaction savings stack up quickly.

    Payment industry cost analysis — illustrative of the savings opportunity, not a guaranteed outcome.

    [02]_The processing drain

    Morris Heights businesses are paying $600–$1,500/month in processing fees that a compliant program eliminates entirely.

    • 01A Morris Heights business doing $35k/month in card sales pays $875–$1,225/month to processors — that is $10,500–$14,700/year that could stay in the business.
    • 02Auto repair shops in the University Heights area run high-ticket jobs. A $1,200 repair at 3% means $36 to the processor on a single transaction. Across dozens of jobs a month, it accumulates fast.
    • 03Hair salons and beauty businesses in Morris Heights operate on labor-intensive margins. Processing fees on every appointment charge — card tips included — are a persistent margin drag.
    • 04Community businesses that serve price-sensitive local customers cannot easily raise prices to offset processing fees. The program moves the cost to an optional service fee instead.
    • 05At $25–$45/month flat, the program cost is typically recovered by the end of the first business week.

    [05]_FAQ

    Questions, answered.

    Yes — auto repair is one of the best fits because average tickets are high. A $1,500 job on a cash discount program saves $37–$52 in fees compared to standard processing. Across the month, that recovery is significant.

    The disclosure requirement is what makes the program legal, and customers throughout the Bronx are familiar with service fees. Proper door and register signage — which we provide — handles it.

    Yes — if your business currently pushes customers toward cash because of fees, the cash discount program lets you accept cards without absorbing the cost.

    Most Morris Heights businesses are processing on the cash discount program within a week of application approval.

    Compliance with NYC and New York State disclosure requirements is our responsibility — we provide all signage and documentation as part of the program.
