    [02]_The fee drain

    Mount Vernon businesses are losing $8,000–$24,000/year to card processors they don't need to pay.

    • 01A Mount Vernon restaurant processing $60k/month in card sales pays $1,500–$2,100/month in fees — $18,000–$25,200 every year sent to Visa and Mastercard.
    • 02Barbershops, salons, and nail studios on Fourth and Gramatan Avenues run $15k–$40k/month in card volume. At 2.5–3.5%, that's $375–$1,400/month in pure fee drain.
    • 03Convenience stores and specialty food markets in Mount Vernon process high transaction volume at thin margins — processing fees are one of the most damaging costs per dollar of revenue.
    • 04Medical offices, dental practices, and urgent care facilities in Mount Vernon process significant card volume with no meaningful negotiating power against large card networks.
    • 05Eliminating processing fees is one of the fastest margin improvements available to Mount Vernon business owners — and the cash discount program complies fully with New York State law.
