Are Traditional POS Systems Dead? How 1.5% of Your Transactions Could Feed 10,000 Kids Instead

Your POS System is Bleeding Money (And Giving Nothing Back)

Traditional POS systems cost merchants 2.5-3.5% per transaction.

Credit card processors pocket every cent.

Zero goes to charity. Zero goes to community. Zero transparency.

Meanwhile, Larecoin flips the script entirely.

The Hidden Cost of "Trusted" Payment Rails

Legacy POS infrastructure drains merchant revenue through multiple channels:

Hardware Costs

• $1,500-$5,000 upfront per terminal

• Proprietary equipment locks you in

• Maintenance fees stack up quarterly

• Upgrades require full replacement

Transaction Fees

• 2.5-3.5% per swipe adds up fast

• Monthly gateway fees ($25-$50)

• PCI compliance costs ($100-$500/year)

• Chargeback fees ($15-$100 each)

A $500,000/year business pays $12,500-$17,500 in fees alone.

That's real money disappearing into payment processor profits.

Cloud POS Isn't the Answer Either

The cloud POS market is exploding: projected to hit $45.20 billion by 2033.

But it's still the same old game with a fresh coat of paint.

Same Problems, Different Package

• 2-3% transaction fees remain

• Monthly subscriptions add $50-$300

• Integration costs with existing tools

• Your data lives on their servers

You're still paying for someone else's infrastructure.

Still feeding the middleman machine.

Still getting zero social impact for your loyalty.

Enter Larecoin: Payment Rails With a Conscience

Larecoin operates on LareBlocks: a Layer 1 blockchain built specifically for merchant payments.

The 1.5% Difference

Every Larecoin transaction includes a 1.5% tax.

Here's what makes it revolutionary:

100% goes to verified global charities.

Not profit margins. Not executive bonuses. Not shareholder dividends.

Direct impact. Transparent allocation. Blockchain-verified distribution.

Your business processes payments AND feeds kids in need.

Same checkout experience. Radically different outcome.

Let's Run the Numbers: Your Impact Potential

Average meal cost through global food programs: $0.25

Your annual revenue: $500,000

Traditional POS fees: $12,500-$17,500 (to payment processors)

Larecoin transaction tax: $7,500 (to charity)

That's 30,000 meals funded through your transactions alone.

Scale that across 100 merchants at similar volume:

3,000,000 meals per year.

Enough to feed 10,000 children daily.

Your payment infrastructure becomes a charity engine.

No extra effort. No separate donations. Automatic impact.
