How to Reduce Merchant Interchange Fees by 50%+ with Web3 Global Payments

Interchange fees are killing your margins. Every swipe, tap, or online checkout chips away at your revenue. We're talking 2-4% on domestic transactions. 4-6% on cross-border payments. That's thousands: sometimes tens of thousands: disappearing into the pockets of banks and card networks every single year.

What if you could slash those fees by 50% or more?

Web3 global payments make it possible. And Larecoin makes it simple.

The Traditional Payment Fee Stack: A Breakdown

Before we dive into solutions, let's understand exactly where your money goes with traditional payment processing.

Every transaction involves multiple hands in your pocket:

• Interchange fees: 1.5-2.5%

• Network fees: 0.1-0.3%

• Processor markup: 0.2-0.5%

• Foreign exchange spreads: 1-3% (international only)

Add it up. A $10,000 cross-border transfer costs you approximately $330 in fees. That's insane.

Small businesses feel this pain the hardest. Lower volume means less negotiating power. Higher percentages. Tighter margins.

The traditional system wasn't designed for you. It was designed for banks.

How Web3 Global Payments Eliminate Fee Layers

Here's where things get interesting.

Web3 payments bypass the entire fee stack. No intermediary banks. No card networks taking their cut. Transactions settle directly between customer wallet and merchant account using blockchain-based settlement.

That same $10,000 cross-border transfer? Approximately $66 with Web3 payments.

That's an 80% reduction.

The math is simple. Remove the middlemen, keep your money.

Stablecoin-based transactions eliminate volatility concerns while maintaining those dramatic cost savings. You get the benefits of crypto without the price swings.

Why Larecoin Beats Traditional Alternatives

Not all Web3 payment solutions are created equal.

Platforms like NOWPayments and CoinPayments offer crypto acceptance, sure. But they still operate as intermediaries. They hold your funds. They control your keys. They set the rules.

Larecoin flips the script entirely.

Self-Custody Merchant Accounts

With Larecoin, you control your private keys. You control your funds. No third-party trust required. No credit checks. No waiting for approvals.

This is financial sovereignty for your business.

Traditional merchant accounts can freeze your funds. Delay payouts. Add unexpected fees. Self-custody merchant accounts eliminate these risks entirely.

Your money. Your control. Period.

LUSD Stablecoin Benefits

Volatility kills crypto adoption for merchants. Nobody wants to accept $100 in Bitcoin and wake up to $85.

LUSD solves this.

Larecoin's stablecoin maintains consistent value while reducing transaction costs to gas fees only: we're talking fractions of a cent. You get instant settlement without the rollercoaster.

Compare that to waiting 3-5 business days for traditional payment settlement. LUSD transactions complete in minutes.

NFT Receipts for Accounting

Here's something NOWPayments and CoinPayments don't offer.

Every transaction generates blockchain-verified NFT receipts. These aren't just fancy digital images: they're immutable records for:

• Automatic accounting integration

• Tax compliance documentation

• Audit trails that can't be disputed

• Real-time financial visibility

Your accountant will love you. Your auditor will have nothing to question.

Receivables Token Innovation

Larecoin's receivables token system transforms how you manage cash flow. Tokenized receivables provide liquidity options traditional payment processors can't match.

This isn't just payment processing. It's a complete financial infrastructure upgrade.

Larecoin vs. The Competition

Let's get specific about how Larecoin stacks up against other Web3 payment options.

Receivables Token	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	❌ No
