Skip the Copycats: Here's the Real Deal on Dual Pricing!

Looking for a simple, compliant cash discount program that meets regulatory guidelines and delivers 100% accurate pricing on every transaction? Steer clear of imitators and choose the original, patented app that ignited the Dual Pricing revolution.

Created by Jerry Cain, CEO of MBNCard Inc., and team, Dual Pricing won patent approval in 2024, a significant milestone for the growing company founded in 2024. The innovative app helps merchants comply with government and card issuer requirements by displaying accurate standard and discounted prices in stores and online, Cain stated.

“Cash discount was taking off in 2015 and merchants were getting fined for discount programs that were more like surcharging,” Cain said. “When reviewing the rules, I realized the card brands wanted both standard and discount prices displayed to customers.”

Simplify Pricing

Cain pointed out that cash discount is legal in all states for businesses that meet guidelines and signage requirements but surcharge regulations vary by issuer and region. Before MBNCard introduced their patented dual pricing model, there was no easy way for merchants and service providers to calculate discounts and implement these programs.

Simplify Implementation

While discount and surcharge applications have progressed from early models, Cain observed that some companies still conflate the two programs. “Companies that surcharge and call it cash discount are getting it wrong and their merchants are getting fined,” he added, noting the Dual Pricing app is all a merchant needs to be compliant.

Automate Discounts

Dual Pricing uses a proprietary algorithm to automatically calculate discounts, freeing merchants from manual calculations and removing risk of errors. The app automatically discounts purchases for cash-paying customers while presenting standard pricing to card-paying customers and creating full discloser signage. This speeds the checkout process and ensures that every transaction is 100% accurate and compliant.

Cain additionally noted that the U.S. government-issued patent is a powerful selling tool that has helped MBNCard and partners grow and scale. MBNCard has grown revenues 20% year over year while decreasing account attrition.
