How Much $ Can Surcharging/NCA Save You? Funny You Should Ask…

Finding ways to save money in your business can be a real challenge.
One of the methods Skurla’s has in it’s toolbox is surcharging or non-cash adjustment (NCA for short). It is a simple way of passing on (or sharing) the costs of credit card processing to customers who don’t want to pay cash. Our point of sale system can automatically add a fee of up to 3.99% to all card based transactions. The end result is that a majority of your credit card fees are eliminated or drastically reduced.
Well then, you ask, how much can surcharging/NCA save me?
The answer: Take your current monthly credit card fees - multiply that by 12. That’s your yearly savings! 🤣
But seriously, while NCA can’t always remove ALL of your fees, it can reduce the majority of them. Even more if you are a business that doesn’t take tips. Couple that with a free or heavily subsidized, feature rich POS, and you may just be laughing all the way to bank.
