From interchange fees by the issuing banks, to card brand fees, to fees added by the processors, there are several factors that determine the cost businesses incur when accepting credit cards.
However the main culprit for the high cost of card acceptance are the rewards programs offered by the issuing banks, in the form of points, miles, cash-back and the like.
Our Pay Zero program enables you to do what universities and government agencies have long been permitted to do: pass on the fees when customers choose credit cards for convenience or rewards, while still giving them the option to access savings by paying with a check or cash.
Pay Zero completely eliminates the cost of accepting credit cards, and has saved our clients an average of 97% on overall processing costs.
Our Pay Zero program uses hardware and software that is compliant with all federal and state regulations allowing for a seamless and quick implementation.
Fairly empowering consumers to support their favorite local businesses.
Pay Zero is widely viewed as a true win-win for both the merchant and the customer, as this initiative gives your customers the ability to opt out by simply paying with cash or check, while also allowing you to completely eliminate the cost of accepting card payments.

In 2011, Mitchell Katz (spokesman for the FTC) was quoted saying that “Dodd-Frank prohibits a payment card network like Visa from inhibiting the ability of any individual to give a discount for payment by cash, checks, debit cards, or credit cards.”
In 2010 Congress passed financial regulations under the Dodd-Frank Act, one of the later additions to this bill was the Durbin Amendment.
The Durbin Amendment is the legislation that backs this program, allowing businesses to incentivize and encourage their customers to pay with cash.
In the unlikely event that you find this program to not be a fit for your business, we can quickly and seamlessly reimplement traditional processing with the flip of a switch.
This will be at no additional cost to you and with zero down time.
