You’re already dealing with inventory, payroll, vendor payments, and everything else that keeps your business moving. The last thing you need is your payment processor adding delays, surprise fees, or technical problems that eat into your day.
Next-day funding means the money from yesterday’s sales hits your account tomorrow. Not in three days. Not “depending on your bank.” Tomorrow. That’s how it should work, and that’s what you get with us.
Lower processing fees mean you keep more of what you earn. When you’re running on tight margins—and most Tysons businesses are—every percentage point matters. You’ll see the difference in your monthly statements, and you’ll actually understand what you’re being charged for.
When something goes wrong with a terminal, a declined card, or a question about your account, you get a real person who knows your business. No phone tree. No ticket system. Just someone who picks up and helps you fix it.
We’ve been helping businesses accept payments since 1992. We’re a registered ISO of PNC Bank, which means your transactions run through a system backed by one of the country’s most established financial institutions.
We work with retailers in Tysons Corner Center, restaurants along Route 7, contractors in Vienna and Great Falls, healthcare providers in Reston, and online businesses across Northern Virginia. The common thread isn’t the industry—it’s that they all needed a processor who actually answers the phone and doesn’t bury fees in fine print.
You’re not getting a call center in another state. You’re getting a team that knows the Tysons market, understands what local businesses deal with, and treats your account like it matters—because it does.
First, we talk. Not a sales pitch—an actual conversation about what you’re processing now, what’s working, what’s not, and what you actually need. If you’re a restaurant, you need different equipment than a contractor. If you’re doing high-volume retail, your pricing structure shouldn’t look like a mobile business.
Once we understand your situation, we design a processing setup that fits. That might mean a countertop terminal, a wireless device, an online payment gateway, or all three. We’ll walk you through the rates, the equipment costs, and what your monthly statement will actually look like—before you sign anything.
Then we handle the application and underwriting. Yes, there’s paperwork. But we fill out what we can, explain what we can’t, and make sure it gets processed quickly. Most accounts are approved and ready to go within a few business days.
After you’re live, you’re not on your own. Equipment gets delivered and installed. We make sure it’s working. We train your staff if needed. And when you call with a question three months later, the same people who set you up are the ones who answer.
Ready to get started?
You get credit card processing for Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express. You also get debit card acceptance, contactless payments, and mobile wallet support—Apple Pay, Google Pay, all of it. If your customers want to tap their phone or watch, your terminal handles it.
Fleet card processing is included if you’re in an industry that needs it—gas stations, truck stops, repair shops. These aren’t regular credit cards, and not every processor handles them correctly. We do.
Online payment acceptance and gateway integration if you sell anything on a website or take orders remotely. It connects to your site, processes the payment securely, and deposits funds the same way your in-person sales do.
Loyalty and gift card programs if you want to keep customers coming back or give them an easy way to refer others. These aren’t add-ons that cost a fortune—they’re part of building a system that actually helps you grow.
Wireless payment acceptance for businesses that move around—food trucks, delivery services, contractors who need to swipe a card on-site. The equipment works anywhere you have cell service, and it syncs with the rest of your system.
Tysons has over 300 retail and restaurant locations in the Corner Center alone, plus professional offices, medical practices, and service businesses throughout Vienna, McLean, and Reston. You’re in one of the highest-traffic commercial areas in Virginia. Your payment system should work as hard as you do.
You’ll see three main costs: the discount rate, the transaction fee, and any monthly service fees. The discount rate is a percentage of each sale—usually between 1.5% and 3.5% depending on your industry, transaction volume, and whether the card is swiped in person or entered manually. The transaction fee is a flat amount per sale, typically 10 to 30 cents.
Monthly fees cover things like your gateway access, statement generation, and account maintenance. These should be clearly listed, not buried. If you’re being charged for PCI compliance, batch processing, or “regulatory fees” that aren’t explained up front, that’s a red flag.
We price based on your actual business. A high-volume retailer in Tysons Corner Center gets different rates than a low-volume service business in Reston. You’ll know what you’re paying and why before you sign anything. If your processing needs change, your pricing can adjust—but you’ll know about it ahead of time, not when you get a surprise bill.
Next business day for most accounts. If a customer pays you on Monday, the funds hit your bank account Tuesday. If they pay Friday, you’ll see it Monday. That’s the standard, not a special program you have to qualify for.
Some processors hold funds for 48 to 72 hours, or longer if you’re a new account. Others release daily deposits but hold a percentage in reserve “just in case.” We don’t do that unless your business model has significant chargeback risk—and if that’s the case, we’ll explain why up front.
Real-time settlement is becoming more common in the industry, and we’re set up to offer it when it makes sense. But for most Tysons businesses, next-day funding is fast enough and doesn’t come with the extra fees that real-time processing can trigger. You want your money quickly and predictably. That’s what we deliver.
You call us, and someone picks up. Not a voicemail. Not a ticket system. A person who can troubleshoot the problem while you’re on the phone.
Most terminal issues are simple—connection problems, a setting that got changed, or a card that’s damaged or expired. We can walk you through a reset, test a transaction, or switch you to a backup process while we get a replacement shipped. If it’s a bigger problem, we’ll get a technician out or send new equipment, usually same-day or next-day depending on where you are in Tysons.
If a transaction is getting declined and you don’t know why, we can look up the response code and tell you what’s happening. Sometimes it’s the customer’s bank blocking the charge. Sometimes it’s a daily limit issue. Sometimes the card’s just expired and they didn’t realize it. Knowing the reason helps you handle it with the customer instead of guessing.
You also get 24/7 technical support if something breaks after hours. Restaurants and retail businesses don’t stop at 5 p.m., and neither do we.
Yes. You’ll have one merchant account that handles both. Your in-person terminal and your online payment gateway connect to the same processing system, so all your transactions show up in one place and all your deposits go to the same bank account.
This matters more than it sounds like it does. If you’re running two separate systems—one for your website and one for your store—you’re reconciling two statements, managing two fee structures, and dealing with two support teams when something goes wrong. It’s inefficient and it costs you time.
We set up your gateway to integrate with your website, shopping cart, or invoicing software. If you’re using Shopify, WooCommerce, QuickBooks, or something custom-built, we can connect to it. You’ll be able to process cards, send payment links, set up recurring billing if you need it, and manage everything from the same dashboard.
For Tysons businesses that do any kind of hybrid model—retail with online orders, services with remote invoicing, or events with advance ticket sales—this is how you keep it all straight without doubling your workload.
No, but your processor needs to support them. Fleet cards like WEX, Voyager, and Comdata aren’t regular credit cards. They require specific data to process correctly—things like odometer readings, driver IDs, or vehicle numbers. If your terminal isn’t set up for it, the transaction gets declined or flagged.
We include fleet card processing in your setup if your business needs it. That means your terminal is programmed to prompt for the right information, and your account is configured to accept those card types without extra fees or approval delays.
This is common for gas stations, truck stops, auto repair shops, and fleet maintenance businesses in the Tysons and Northern Virginia area. If you’re seeing fleet cards regularly and your current processor either can’t handle them or charges you extra, that’s a problem we fix.
You’ll process fleet transactions the same way you process regular credit cards—swipe or tap, enter the required details, and it goes through. The funds settle into your account on the same next-day schedule as everything else.
First, check your current contract for an early termination fee. Some processors lock you in for three years and charge hundreds of dollars to leave early. If that’s your situation, we’ll help you figure out if switching now saves you enough to offset the fee—or if you’re better off waiting until the contract ends.
Once you’re clear to switch, we start the application. We’ll need basic business information, bank details, and processing history—what you’re doing in volume now, what your average transaction looks like, and what types of payments you’re accepting. This helps us set up your new account with the right pricing and limits from day one.
Approval usually takes two to five business days. Once you’re approved, we order your equipment, set up your gateway if you need one, and schedule installation. You can keep using your old processor until the new system is live—there’s no gap where you can’t accept payments.
When you’re ready to switch over, we’ll help you close out your old account properly so you’re not paying two processors at once. If you’re keeping the same terminal and just switching the processing behind it, we can reprogram it. If you’re upgrading equipment, we’ll get the old one returned so you’re not charged for it.
Most Tysons businesses are fully switched and running on the new system within two weeks of starting the process. It’s simpler than it sounds, and you’re not doing it alone.
