What businesses need to know about cash discounting
The Durbin Amendment, included as part of the 2010 Dodd-Frank law, permits businesses to transfer all or a portion of their processing fees onto their customers. Thanks to the amendment, companies can now legally offer a discount to those who pay with cash or check instead of credit or debit card. There are only six states that currently prohibit surcharging- Colorado, Connecticut, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts and Oklahoma.
