Dropp, Inc., an innovator in instant, low-cost digital payments, has partnered with The Pinnacle Corporation, a leader in cloud-based POS solutions, to introduce Dropp Pay-by-Bank and Pay-by-Stablecoin payment rails for U.S. fuel and convenience retailers. Integrated into Pinnacle’s Affiniti Cloud POS, this next-generation solution offers merchants a cost-effective alternative to traditional card processing networks, reducing transaction costs, enhancing margins, and delivering faster, more secure checkout experiences for consumers.

Through our partnership with Pinnacle, we are delivering on our promise, bringing cost-effective, real-time banking and stablecoin rails to everyday purchases.
For fuel and convenience retailers, where the average in-store transaction is under $10, card fees significantly inflate operating costs. With Dropp’s innovative micropayment technology integrated into Affiniti Cloud POS, merchants can cut transaction costs by up to two-thirds while settling payments instantly. The Dropp platform is built on U.S. Real-Time Bank rails ($USD) and Hedera’s distributed ledger technology (Stablecoin), ensuring instant settlement. The result is a faster, more consumer-friendly checkout, stronger profitability, and the ability to pass savings on to customers, offsetting the hidden “inflation tax” driven by excessive card fees.
