Payments Processing
for Community Businesses
My goal: Make credit card processing work for you.
I understand that managing payments processing is not a priority for your business. You probably don’t want to have to think about it. But when your POS breaks and you start losing sales, or when you have to pay high fees or wait to get paid, you do end up thinking about it. And when you can’t get any support, those thoughts are not going to be friendly ones.
I am here to help. I act as a broker on your behalf, working to find you the best rates, fastest payments, right equipment, and consistent customer service. My work is backed by a team that’s processed billions of dollars in payments over the past 20+ years through multiple banks. And I’ll do this cost savings analysis for you for free.
