The Ultimate Guide to Receivables Tokens: Everything You Need to Slash Merchant Interchange Fees by 50%

Interchange fees are eating your profits alive.

Every swipe. Every tap. Every transaction. Card networks take their cut. Processors take their cut. Banks take their cut.

The average merchant loses 2-3% per transaction. That's before chargebacks. Before fraud protection fees. Before monthly minimums.

There's a better way.

Welcome to the future of merchant payments: receivables tokens.

What Are Receivables Tokens?

Simple concept. Powerful execution.

A receivables token converts unpaid invoices into digital assets on the blockchain. Instead of waiting 30, 60, or 90 days for clients to pay, you tokenize those receivables and access capital immediately.

These tokens represent a legal right to future payment. They can be:

• Held in your wallet

• Sold to investors

• Used as collateral

• Traded on secondary markets

When the underlying invoice gets paid? Smart contracts distribute proceeds automatically. No banks. No intermediaries. No delays.

The Interchange Fee Problem

Let's break down what you're actually paying.

Traditional card processing involves:

• Interchange fees: 1.5-3.5% (goes to issuing bank)

• Assessment fees: 0.13-0.15% (goes to card network)

• Processor markup: 0.2-0.5% (goes to your payment processor)

• Monthly fees: $10-50

• PCI compliance fees: $50-200/year

• Chargeback fees: $15-100 per dispute

Stack all that up. You're bleeding money on every transaction.

Crypto payments eliminate most of these layers. But not all solutions are created equal.

How Receivables Tokens Slash Your Costs

Here's where it gets interesting.

Traditional payment rails require multiple intermediaries. Each one takes a cut. Receivables tokens on blockchain infrastructure bypass this entirely.

The math works like this:

Cost Category	Traditional Processing	Receivables Token Model
Transaction fees	2-3.5%	0.5-1%
Settlement time	2-5 business days	Near-instant
Chargeback risk	High	Eliminated
Currency conversion	3-4%	Minimal

The savings compound. For merchants processing $100K monthly, that's $1,500-2,500 back in your pocket. Every. Single. Month.

Larecoin vs. The Competition

Not all crypto payment solutions deliver equal value.

Let's compare.

NOWPayments

Solid option for basic crypto acceptance. They support 100+ cryptocurrencies. Non-custodial options available.

Limitations:

• No receivables tokenization

• Limited fiat off-ramp options

• Basic merchant tools

• No stablecoin ecosystem

CoinPayments

Been around since 2013. Supports 2,000+ coins. Multi-coin wallet included.

Limitations:

• Higher fees (0.5% + network fees)

• Custodial by default

• No NFT receipt functionality

• Complex compliance landscape

Larecoin

Built different.

Here's what sets Larecoin apart:

• Receivables tokens: Convert invoices to liquid digital assets

• LUSD stablecoin: Dollar-pegged stability without volatility risk

• NFT receipts: Immutable transaction records for bulletproof accounting

• True self-custody: Your funds. Your keys. Your control.

• Gas-only transfers: Minimal transaction costs

• Push-to-card: Instant fiat conversion when you need it

The complete Web3 payment stack. Purpose-built for merchants who want control.

LUSD: The Stablecoin Advantage

Volatility kills merchant adoption.

You accept $100 in Bitcoin. Next day it's worth $85. That's not sustainable.

LUSD solves this.

Pegged to the US dollar. Stable value. Predictable cash flow.

Benefits for merchants:

• Price products in dollars

• Accept payment in LUSD

• Zero conversion volatility

• Instant settlement

• Lower fees than card processing

Your accountant will thank you. Your margins will thank you more.

NFT Receipts: The Future of Transaction Records

Every Larecoin transaction generates an NFT receipt.

Why does this matter?

Immutable proof of payment. Can't be altered. Can't be disputed. Lives forever on-chain.

Audit-ready documentation. Tax season becomes simple. Every transaction timestamped and verified.

Chargeback elimination. Customer claims they didn't authorize payment? NFT receipt says otherwise. Dispute closed.

Accounting automation. Direct integration with your books. No manual reconciliation.

Traditional processors give you PDFs. Larecoin gives you cryptographic proof.

Self-Custody: Why It Matters

"Not your keys, not your coins."

This isn't just a crypto mantra. It's risk management 101.

When a payment processor holds your funds:

• They control when you get paid

• They can freeze your account

• They charge holding fees

• They're a single point of failure

Self-custody flips the script.

With Larecoin's self-custody model:

• Funds hit your wallet directly

• No third-party access to your money

• No surprise account freezes

• No waiting for settlement windows

You're the bank now.

US Compliance: MSB and State MTL Strategy

Here's where most crypto payment solutions fall short.

Operating in the US requires:

• MSB Registration: Money Services Business registration with FinCEN

• State MTLs: Money Transmitter Licenses in applicable states

• BSA/AML compliance: Bank Secrecy Act and Anti-Money Laundering protocols

• KYC procedures: Know Your Customer verification

Larecoin takes compliance seriously.

Our strategy includes MSB registration and a state-by-state MTL approach. Not cutting corners. Not operating in gray areas.

Why this matters for merchants:

• Legal certainty

• Banking relationship stability

• Audit protection

• Long-term viability

Some platforms promise the world and deliver regulatory headaches. Larecoin builds for institutional-grade compliance from day one.
