Business associations involved in the Business in Regeneration (BiR) project will be able to offer members discounts on their credit card transactions.
Nat West has agreed to offer preferential rates on its Streamline card transaction service to members of BiR associations.
The North Laine Traders Association (NLTA), Brighton, has begun working with the bank to offer the deal.
NTLAs Peter Stocker said: "Some of our members have saved thousands of pounds since signing up."
The scheme was an excellent way for associations to draw new members and reward existing ones.
He said: "People join the NTLA just to take advantage of the preferential rates. Then they find it has a whole lot more to offer and before long they start to get involved in developing the area."
