FeeFree™ Cash Discount Program

Settlement of the class action suit against Visa/MasterCard in 2011 resulted in the creation of numerous surcharge and cash discount programs.  They were not uniform in their structure, compliant with brand rules and regulations, and they were not uniformly legal in all 50 states.  In fact, the credit card companies have been resisting efforts by merchants and legislators to implement such programs since the 1970s. However, in March of 2017, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Cash Discount Programs are in compliance with the law. That ruling created a significant shift for the credit card industry because it means that merchants in any market sector can sign up for a Cash Discount Program for their clients.  With the Supreme Court ruling, it is now legal to offer a FeeFree™ Cash Discount Program in all 50 states.

There are numerous companies that offer Fee Elimination/Cash Discount programs.  Krullstone Partners has developed a unique blend of product, service, and partner relationships to provide you with the most comprehensive and compliant program in the industry — without exception!  We are pleased to invite our client companies to accept an opportunity to participate in this program.

Branding and Marketing Strategic Planning

Branding is much more than a logo or a word mark. It is not confined to the Corporate Office or the Executive Sales Team. Taglines, product packaging, apparel, merchandising, collateral materials, and training materials all combine to tell the visual story of who and who you are. We help you write that story across all aspects of your brand presence for all levels of individuals associated with your organization! Visit our Branding Services page for more detail.
