Stop Hemorrhaging Cash on Interchange Fees: 7 Ways Larecoin Slashes Payment Costs by 50%+ (With US Compliance Built In)

Traditional payment processors are bleeding your business dry.

Every swipe. Every transaction. Every single sale.

You're paying 2.9% base rates. Gateway fees. Currency conversion markups. International charges. The real cost? 5-8% when you add it all up.

Meanwhile, crypto payment processors like NOWPayments and CoinPayments promise salvation: then hit you with 0.5-2% processing fees, conversion markups, and withdrawal charges. Different middleman. Same problem.

Larecoin flips the script entirely.

1.5% flat transaction fee. Actually, scratch that. With our gas-only model, you're looking at $0.15-$0.50 per transaction regardless of transaction size. Not a percentage. A fixed cost.

Let's break down exactly how this works and why businesses processing $100K+ monthly are saving $38,000+ annually.

Way #1: Gas-Only Model Eliminates Percentage-Based Robbery

Traditional processors take a cut of every sale. $10 purchase? They take their %. $10,000 purchase? Still taking their %.

That's backwards.

Larecoin operates on Solana's blockchain. You pay gas fees. That's it. $0.15-$0.50 per transaction whether you're selling a $20 t-shirt or a $20,000 consulting package.

The math is stupid simple:

• $100,000 monthly volume on traditional processors: $3,200/month (3.2% effective rate)

• $100,000 monthly volume on Larecoin: ~$5/month (assuming 10 transactions)

• Annual savings: $38,340

Scale that to $500K monthly? You're saving $191,700 annually.

NOWPayments charges 0.5% + network fees. CoinPayments hits you with 0.5% + 0.0005 BTC withdrawal fees. They're still using the percentage model. Still extracting value based on your success.

We're not.

Way #2: LUSD Stablecoin Kills Conversion Markups Dead

Currency conversion is a silent profit center for payment processors.

Customer pays in EUR. You receive USD. Processor charges 2-3% conversion markup. Multiply that across thousands of transactions.

Larecoin USD (LUSD) is our native stablecoin. Pegged 1:1 to USD. Zero conversion markup. None.

Customer pays in LUSD. You receive LUSD. No spread. No hidden fees. No "dynamic currency conversion" nonsense.

Compare:

• Traditional processor: 2.9% base + 1.5% international fee + 2% conversion = 6.4% total

• NOWPayments: 0.5% processing + variable conversion spread

• Larecoin: Gas fee only. Zero conversion markup.

The LUSD advantage extends beyond fees. Instant settlement. No chargebacks. Programmable payments. We'll get to that.

Way #3: Direct Wallet Settlement in Sub-Seconds

Traditional payment flow: Customer → Processor → Bank → Your account (2-3 days later).

Every hop creates delay. Creates risk. Creates fees.

Larecoin flow: Customer wallet → Your wallet. Sub-second settlement.

No intermediary holding your funds. No settlement risk. No waiting for batch processing. The money hits your wallet the moment the transaction confirms on Solana.

This isn't just faster: it's fundamentally different architecture.

Self-custody means you control your assets immediately. Deploy capital faster. Better cash flow management. No processor deciding to hold your funds for "risk assessment."

CoinPayments holds your crypto until you withdraw. NOWPayments requires minimum withdrawal thresholds. Both create artificial friction.

Larecoin? Your money. Your wallet. Instant access.

Way #4: Zero Platform, Gateway, and Hidden Fees

Read any traditional processor agreement. Gateway fees. Statement fees. PCI compliance fees. Monthly minimums. Chargeback fees. IRS reporting fees.

Death by a thousand cuts.

Larecoin charges zero platform fees. No monthly subscription. No setup fees. No gateway charges. No "additional services" upsells.

You pay gas. End of story.

Let's compare real-world pricing:

Traditional Processor Monthly Costs:

• Base processing: 2.9% + $0.30

• Gateway fee: $25/month

• PCI compliance: $100/year

• Statement fee: $15/month

• Chargeback fee: $15 each

• Effective total: 3.2%+ plus fixed costs

NOWPayments:

• Processing: 0.5%

• Network fees: Variable

• Conversion fees: Market rate + spread

• Withdrawal fees: Network dependent

• Minimum withdrawal: Varies by currency

CoinPayments:

• Processing: 0.5%

• Withdrawal: 0.5% + network fee (0.0005 BTC for Bitcoin)

• Conversion: Variable spread

• Multiple currency handling fees stack

Larecoin:

• Gas fee: $0.15-$0.50

• Platform fees: $0

• Conversion (LUSD): $0

• Withdrawal: Unnecessary (direct settlement)

• Monthly minimum: $0

The transparency is the point. No surprises. No fine print. No creeping fee structures.

Way #5: NFT Receipts Automate Record-Keeping

Every Larecoin transaction generates an NFT receipt on-chain.

Permanent. Immutable. Automatically organized.

This isn't a gimmick: it's solving real accounting pain:

• Tax season: Export transaction history with metadata intact

• Audit trails: Cryptographic proof of every payment

• Customer service: Instant verification without email archaeology

• Inventory tracking: Link receipts to product SKUs programmatically

Traditional processors give you CSV exports and PDFs. Searchable? Sometimes. Standardized? Rarely. Verifiable? Only if you trust the processor.

NFT receipts are trustless verification. The blockchain doesn't lie. Can't be altered retroactively. Can't be "accidentally deleted."

For businesses handling hundreds of daily transactions, automated on-chain record-keeping eliminates manual reconciliation. Your accountant will actually thank you.

Way #6: Self-Custody Control Without Intermediary Risk

Payment processor horror stories are everywhere:

• Account frozen without warning

• Funds held for 180 days

• Terminated for "high-risk" industry

• Reserve requirements locking 10-20% of revenue

When you use traditional processors, they control your money. They make the rules. They decide if you're "too risky."

Self-custody eliminates intermediary risk entirely.

Your Larecoin wallet. Your private keys. Your control. No processor can freeze your account. No algorithm flags your legitimate business as suspicious. No holding periods or reserve requirements.

This is especially critical for:

• International businesses facing arbitrary restrictions

• High-volume merchants tired of holds and reserves

• Industries unfairly labeled "high-risk" by legacy finance

• Anyone valuing financial sovereignty

NOWPayments and CoinPayments still act as custodians. They control the withdrawal process. They set the terms.

Larecoin removes the middleman. Peer-to-peer. Customer to merchant. Direct.

Way #7: US Compliance Built In (MSB + MTL Strategy)

"But what about regulations?"

Valid question. Many crypto payment platforms operate in gray areas. Unclear licensing. Questionable jurisdictions. Regulatory risk passed to merchants.

Larecoin maintains full US regulatory compliance through our MSB (Money Services Business) registration plus state-by-state MTL (Money Transmitter License) strategy.

This isn't optional. It's foundational.

We're building compliant infrastructure from day one:

• FinCEN MSB registration

• State MTL applications across key markets

• KYC/AML protocols meeting federal standards

• Transaction monitoring and reporting systems

• Legal framework respecting securities laws

Why does this matter for merchants?

Risk transfer. When you use non-compliant platforms, regulatory risk falls on your business. When Larecoin handles compliance, you operate with legal certainty.

You're not betting on regulatory ambiguity. You're using infrastructure designed for the regulated future of crypto payments.

Compare to competitors operating offshore or in regulatory limbo. Short-term convenience. Long-term exposure.

Larecoin chooses the harder path deliberately. Compliance protects merchants. Enables institutional adoption. Positions us for sustained growth as regulations crystallize.

The Real Math: Stop Bleeding Money Today

Let's make this concrete with three business sizes:

Small Business ($50K monthly volume):

• Traditional: $1,600/month → $19,200/year

• Larecoin: ~$3/month → $36/year

• Annual savings: $19,164

Medium Business ($250K monthly volume):

• Traditional: $8,000/month → $96,000/year

• Larecoin: ~$8/month → $96/year

• Annual savings: $95,904

Large Business ($1M monthly volume):

• Traditional: $32,000/month → $384,000/year

• Larecoin: ~$20/month → $240/year

• Annual savings: $383,760

These aren't projections. This is the reality of gas-only fee structures on Solana infrastructure.

Every month you delay is money left on the table.
