From card brand fees, to interchange fees from issuing banks, to fees added by processors, there are several cost components 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: pass on fees when customers choose to pay by credit card, while still giving 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.
Pay Zero's substantial bottom line savings immediately increases your EBITDA with no additional spend of resources or personnel.
Empowering businesses to keep more of what they earn.
Pay Zero is widely viewed as a true win-win for both the merchant and the customer, as the program gives your customers the ability to opt out by simply paying with cash, check or ACH, while also allowing you to completely eliminate the cost of accepting card payments.
