Help Protect Cash Payments in New York – Take Action Today!

Right now, Governor Kathy Hochul has the opportunity to sign legislation (S41453-A / A7929) that would guarantee the right to pay with cash at all in-person retail locations throughout New York State.

At Best Products Sales & Service, Inc., we’ve spent over 25 years supporting businesses and communities that rely on cash—especially the underbanked, elderly, and those without regular access to traditional banking. We know how critical it is that cash remains a viable, accepted payment option.

This bill is a direct response to the increasing number of “card-only” businesses. If signed, it would make New York a leader in protecting financial accessibility, consumer privacy, and payment choice.

We urge you to make your voice heard.

It only takes 2 minutes.

Dear Governor Hochul,
Please sign the Cash Acceptance legislation into law. Cash is legal tender and must remain an accessible payment option for all New Yorkers. This bill protects vulnerable communities and ensures that everyone—regardless of banking status—can participate in the economy.

Thank you for supporting fairness and consumer choice.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]

Let’s ensure that New York remains open, inclusive, and resilient—for everyone.
