    A Riverdale business processing $45,000/month in card transactions saves approximately $1,125–$1,575/month on a cash discount program — $13,500–$18,900/year in margin recovered from card networks.

    [02]_The fee drain

    Riverdale businesses are losing $7,000–$24,000/year to card processors they don't need to pay.

    • 01A Riverdale restaurant or café processing $50k/month in card transactions pays $1,250–$1,750/month in fees — $15,000–$21,000 every year sent to Visa and Mastercard.
    • 02Medical offices and dental practices on and near Johnson Avenue run large card volumes at fixed appointment values — processing fees compound quietly into a five-figure annual drain.
    • 03Specialty retail, wine shops, and boutiques in Riverdale process high average ticket sizes. At 2.5–3.5%, each $200 transaction carries a $5–$7 fee that adds up fast.
    • 04Salons and personal service businesses serving Riverdale's affluent residential base process significant card volume daily — fees erode what are already margin-sensitive service businesses.
    • 05Eliminating processing fees is one of the fastest margin improvements available to Riverdale business owners — and the cash discount program complies fully with New York State law.
