Cash Discount
How Can Cash Discount Benefit Your Business?
Recently, there has been an increased interest in cash discount programs. A cash discount is when a merchant offers a discount to customers who pay by cash or check, instead of with a credit or debit card. Cash discount programs are legal in all 50 states as per the Durbin Amendment (part of the 2010 Dodd-Frank Law), which states that businesses are permitted to offer a discount to customers as an incentive for paying with cash. The merchant adds a customizable service fee to all credit and debit card transactions, and then rewards customers who pay by cash or check by giving them a discount. There is an opportunity for many merchants to reduce cost on credit card transactions depending on their current pricing structure.
