Strategic Marketing and Execution: The Key to CardX's Fintech Triumph
CardX gives small businesses a solution to pass on credit card fees to customers, offering them a way to avoid expenses they’d typically incur on the consumer’s behalf. This innovative approach aimed to reshape how businesses handle transaction costs.
The Challenge:
To create scalable demand, CardX needed to educate businesses about the benefits and legal aspects of credit card surcharging. The goal was to dispel the stigma often associated with credit card processing fees, proving that surcharging can be both fair and transparent.
