overview

What is dual pricing?

Simply put, dual pricing is an initiative that offers a lower price for customers who choose to pay with cash. This approach allows customers to save money while helping businesses manage the costs associated with card payments.

Savings all around.

From fees charged by issuing banks, to card network costs, to processing fees, there are several factors that contribute to the overall cost businesses incur when accepting credit cards.

A significant portion of these costs is tied to the rewards programs offered by many credit cards, including points, miles, and cash back.

Dual pricing helps balance these costs by giving customers a choice: pay with a card for convenience, or pay with cash or check and receive a lower price.
