How to Slash Interchange Fees by 50% and Keep Full Custody of Your Crypto (Easy Guide for Small Businesses)

Small business owners. You're bleeding money.

Every swipe, tap, and online checkout? That's 2-4% vanishing into thin air. Interchange fees are quietly draining your revenue. And most crypto payment solutions? They just trade one middleman for another.

Not anymore.

This guide breaks down exactly how to cut those fees by more than half. While keeping full custody of your crypto. No compromises. No third-party holding your funds hostage.

Let's get into it.

The Interchange Fee Problem Nobody Talks About

Traditional card payments are expensive. Period.

A $10,000 transaction through Visa or Mastercard? You're looking at roughly $330 in fees. That's money straight out of your pocket. Every. Single. Time.

Here's what most business owners don't realize:

• Credit cards hit hardest: Higher interchange than debit

• Card-not-present transactions: Even more expensive

• International payments: Forget about it

The payment processors promise "competitive rates." What they deliver? Death by a thousand cuts.

Why Most Crypto Payment Gateways Still Miss the Mark

You've probably looked at crypto payment solutions. NOWPayments. CoinPayments. Triple-A. They all promise lower fees.

But here's the catch.

NOWPayments: Decent fees, but your funds flow through their wallets first. That's custodial. You're trusting a third party with your money.

CoinPayments: Been around forever. But the interface feels like 2015. And again: custodial model. They hold your crypto before you do.

Triple-A: Enterprise-focused. Great for big corporations. Overkill and overpriced for small businesses trying to keep margins tight.

The pattern? These platforms reduce some fees. But they create new dependencies. New risks. New points of failure.

You didn't start accepting crypto to trade Visa for another middleman.

Enter Self-Custody: The Game Changer

Self-custody means one thing: Your keys. Your crypto. Always.

With Larecoin's merchant solutions, payments hit your wallet directly. No intermediary holding funds. No waiting periods. No third-party risk.

Here's why that matters for fee savings:

• Gas-only transfers: You pay network fees. That's it. No platform percentage.

• Direct settlement: Crypto lands in your wallet instantly

• No conversion markups: Keep crypto as crypto or convert on your terms

Traditional interchange fees? Eliminated. Platform fees eating your margins? Gone.

The math is simple. Blockchain-based payments can reduce transfer costs by up to 80%. That $330 fee on $10,000? Drops to around $66. Often less.

Technical Advantages That Actually Matter

Let's talk specifics. Because "crypto payments" isn't enough. You need the right infrastructure.

NFT Receipts: Immutable Proof of Every Transaction

Forget paper receipts. Forget PDFs lost in email folders.

NFT receipts create permanent, verifiable proof on-chain. Every transaction. Every detail. Stored forever on the blockchain.

• Audit-ready: Accountants love this

• Dispute resolution: Undeniable transaction records

• Customer trust: Transparency builds loyalty

This isn't a gimmick. It's the future of business documentation.

LUSD Stablecoin: Volatility? What Volatility?

Crypto's biggest merchant objection: "But the price swings!"

LUSD solves this. A stablecoin pegged to the dollar. Accept payments in LUSD. Hold LUSD. No price anxiety.

Your customers get crypto convenience. You get dollar stability. Win-win.

Gas-Only Transfers: The Fee Savings Secret

Most platforms charge:

• Transaction fees

• Platform fees

• Withdrawal fees

• Conversion fees

Larecoin's gas-only model? You pay the network. That's it.

On efficient chains like Solana? We're talking fractions of a cent per transaction. Compare that to 2.9% + $0.30 on traditional processors.
