I'm curious about the legality of charging customers a processing fee in the cryptocurrency and finance industry. Could you clarify if there are any regulations or laws that prohibit or restrict this practice? It's important for me to ensure that my business practices are compliant with the current legal framework. Additionally, are there any best practices or industry standards that I should follow when implementing a processing fee for my customers?

Currently, there are only three states that ban credit card surcharges: Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Puerto Rico. This means that in the majority of U.S. states, businesses can choose to impose such fees if they wish.
