How our cash discounting program works
Trinity Payment Solutions Cash Discount Program removes merchant processing fees for companies. The total transaction (cost of goods/services + non-cash adjustment) is deposited into the merchant’s account, and the non-cash adjustment fee is automatically withdrawn daily, avoiding the high monthly debit fees that merchants commonly end up paying.
