Every swipe should build your business, not drain it. When processing fees are eating your margins and slow funding is choking your cash flow, you need a partner who gets it.
With the right processing setup, you’ll see lower fees on every transaction. Your money hits your account in 2-3 business days instead of sitting in limbo. And when issues pop up, you get real people who solve problems fast.
Burke businesses using our processing keep more of their revenue, improve their cash flow, and spend less time wrestling with payment headaches. That’s money and time you can put back into growing your business.
We’ve been helping businesses like yours since 2007. We’re a registered ISO of PNC Bank with over 30 full-time employees at our Annapolis headquarters—close enough to understand the local market, established enough to deliver real results.
Burke’s business community is diverse, from retail shops to service providers to restaurants. Each needs different payment solutions, and cookie-cutter approaches don’t work. We take time to understand your specific situation and build processing that fits.
We earned the 2023 Best of Annapolis Award for Business Development Services because we actually help businesses grow. Not through sales pitches, but through processing that works better and costs less.
Getting started is straightforward. We analyze your current processing to identify where you’re losing money—hidden fees, inflated rates, or slow funding schedules. Most Burke businesses find several areas for improvement.
Next, we design your custom processing setup. This includes the right equipment for your business type, whether that’s countertop terminals, mobile readers, or online payment gateways. We handle the technical setup and integration with your existing systems.
Within days, you’re processing at lower rates with faster funding. Your customers can pay how they want—cards, mobile payments, or contactless. And you have direct access to our support team whenever you need help. No phone trees, no transfers, just solutions.

Burke businesses get access to our complete payment processing suite. This includes credit and debit card processing, mobile payments, online gateways, and specialized solutions like gift cards and loyalty programs.
Your equipment options range from basic terminals to full point-of-sale systems with inventory management. For service businesses, we offer card-on-file storage for recurring customers. Retail locations get fast chip readers and contactless payment options.
Virginia’s business environment demands reliable processing that can handle busy periods without hiccups. Our systems are built for high-volume days and backed by 24/7 technical support. When Burke businesses need payment processing that scales with their growth, we deliver the infrastructure and support to make it happen.
Processing fees vary based on your business type, transaction volume, and current setup. Most Burke businesses pay between 2.5% and 3.5% per transaction, but many are overpaying due to hidden fees or inflated rates.
We analyze your current processing to show exactly what you’re paying and where you can save. Retail businesses accepting cards in person typically qualify for our lowest rates. Service businesses and online merchants have different rate structures, but all can benefit from transparent pricing.
The key is understanding the difference between interchange fees (set by card brands) and processor markup. We keep our markup low and pass savings directly to you, which is why many Burke businesses cut their processing costs by 20-30% when they switch.
Most Burke businesses are processing within 3-5 business days of approval. The timeline depends on your business type and any special requirements, but we prioritize fast deployment because we know you can’t afford delays.
The process starts with a quick application and review of your business needs. We handle equipment ordering, account setup, and integration with your existing systems. For businesses switching from another processor, we coordinate the transition to minimize disruption.
If you need to start processing immediately, we offer expedited setup options. Emergency situations like equipment failures or processor issues can often be resolved within 24-48 hours. Our goal is getting you back to business as quickly as possible.
Yes, you get direct access to our support team without the runaround. Our headquarters in Annapolis means we understand the local market and can provide personalized service that national processors can’t match.
When you call, you reach real people who know your account and can solve problems immediately. No phone trees, no transfers to overseas call centers, no waiting on hold for hours. Our team includes payment processing experts who can handle everything from basic questions to complex technical issues.
We also provide ongoing account management to ensure your processing continues meeting your needs as your business grows. Many Burke businesses appreciate having a local contact they can reach when issues arise, rather than dealing with faceless corporate support systems.
Absolutely. Our processing systems support all major payment types including mobile wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay, contactless cards, chip cards, and traditional swipe transactions.
For businesses that need mobility, we offer wireless terminals and smartphone-based readers that work anywhere you have cell service. This is perfect for Burke contractors, food trucks, or any business that takes payments on-site at customer locations.
Our point-of-sale systems integrate contactless payments seamlessly, so customers can tap, insert, or swipe without any confusion. The same system handles all payment types, making checkout faster and reducing training time for your staff.
We stand behind our service with transparent terms and no hidden penalties. Unlike processors that lock you into long-term contracts with expensive termination fees, we earn your business through performance, not legal obligations.
If our processing isn’t delivering the savings and service we promised, you can make changes or switch providers without facing punitive fees. We’re confident in our ability to deliver results, which is why we don’t need to trap customers in unfavorable contracts.
Most Burke businesses find our processing exceeds their expectations, but we believe you should have options if circumstances change. Our goal is building long-term partnerships based on mutual benefit, not contractual obligations that benefit only us.
We start by analyzing your current processing to identify hidden costs and inflated rates. Most businesses discover they’re paying for services they don’t use or fees that shouldn’t apply to their transaction types.
Our transparent pricing model shows exactly what you pay and why. We use interchange-plus pricing, which means you pay the actual card brand fees plus our small markup. This approach typically saves Burke businesses 20-30% compared to bundled or tiered pricing models.
We also help optimize your processing setup to qualify for the lowest possible rates. This includes ensuring your equipment accepts chip cards properly, setting up address verification for online transactions, and configuring your system to process transactions in the most cost-effective way possible.
