Dropp, Inc., an innovator in instant, low-cost digital payments, has partnered with The Pinnacle Corporation, a leader in cloud-based POS solutions, to integrate Dropp Pay-by-Bank and Pay-by-Stablecoin payment options into Pinnacle’s Affiniti Cloud POS for U.
S. fuel and convenience retailers.
For U.
S. fuel and convenience retailers, where the average in-store transaction is typically under $10, traditional card fees can significantly impact operating costs. The integration of Dropp’s micropayment technology into Pinnacle’s Affiniti Cloud POS aims to reduce these transaction costs by up to two-thirds, offering merchants instant payment settlement.
The Dropp platform utilizes U.
S. Real-Time Bank rails for USD transactions and Hedera’s distributed ledger technology for stablecoin payments, ensuring immediate settlement. This solution is designed to provide a faster and more secure checkout experience for consumers, while also strengthening merchant profitability and offering the potential to pass savings to customers.
Sushil Prabhu, CEO of Dropp, commented on the development: “SMB and enterprise merchants have long sought a simpler model to reduce the high cost of payment acceptance. Through our partnership with Pinnacle, we are delivering on our promise, bringing cost-effective, real-time banking and stablecoin rails to everyday purchases. This innovation not only gives consumers greater choice in how they pay but also positions merchants for the rapidly emerging digital economy shaped by real-time payments (RTP) and digital currencies.”
Bob Johnson, President and CEO at The Pinnacle Corporation, added: “Affiniti Cloud POS is designed to streamline operations and drive efficiency for retailers. By partnering with Dropp, we’re equipping our merchants with an alternative payment option that slashes transaction fees, strengthens cash flow, and delivers a simpler, seamless checkout experience for consumers, without adding complexity for retailers.”
Key benefits of the integrated solution include ultra-low fees, instant and final settlement of payments which are irrevocable and chargeback-free, and enhanced privacy for consumers. The platform also offers tools for loyalty programs and consumer rewards. Dropp, Inc. specializes in instant, low-cost digital payments using U.
S. instant banking rails and stablecoins (USDC) via RTP networks and Hedera’s distributed ledger technology. The Pinnacle Corporation provides technology solutions for the convenience and fuel retailing industries through its Affiniti Cloud POS platform, and will be exhibiting at the NACS Show, October 15-17, 2025, in Chicago, Booth 4488.
