We’ve been helping Virginia businesses process payments since 1992. That’s over three decades of keeping local companies profitable and their customers happy.
With 30 full-time employees right here in Maryland and recognition as Annapolis’s Best Business Development Service two years running, we understand what Bristow’s growing business community needs. You’re not just another account number to us.
Whether you’re running a tech startup in one of Bristow’s modern office complexes or serving the community from a local storefront, we design solutions that fit your specific situation.
First, we analyze your current processing costs and business needs. Most Bristow businesses are surprised to learn they’re overpaying by 20-30% for basic processing.
Next, we design a custom solution with the right equipment and pricing structure. No cookie-cutter packages. Everything is built around how your business actually operates.
Finally, we handle the setup and training. Your new system is typically running within 48 hours, and our local support team makes sure everything works perfectly from day one. Funds hit your bank account in 2-4 business days, every time.

Bristow’s business landscape is evolving fast. With over 25% of the workforce working from home and a highly educated customer base, you need payment solutions that keep up.
Our complete suite includes everything from traditional countertop terminals to mobile payment solutions that work anywhere in Prince William County. Accept credit cards, debit cards, contactless payments, and even digital wallets. Gift card and loyalty programs help you compete with larger retailers while keeping customers coming back.
For Bristow’s growing number of e-commerce and service businesses, our secure online payment gateways integrate with your existing systems. Whether you’re processing payments at a customer’s home office or running a mobile service throughout Northern Virginia, we keep you connected and compliant.
Processing fees vary based on your business type and transaction volume, but most Bristow businesses pay between 2.3% and 3.5% per transaction. We specialize in getting you the lowest possible rates.
Many local businesses are overpaying because they don’t understand interchange fees or have been locked into unfavorable contracts. We analyze your current statements and typically save businesses 20-30% on their processing costs. Our transparent pricing means you see exactly what you’re paying for each transaction type, with no hidden monthly fees or surprise charges.
Most Bristow businesses are processing payments within 48 hours of approval. The application process takes about 15 minutes, and approval typically happens the same day for established businesses.
We handle all the technical setup and equipment programming. For businesses with existing terminals, we can often reprogram your current equipment to work with our network. New equipment ships overnight, and our local support team can walk you through setup over the phone or visit your location if needed.
Absolutely. Many Bristow businesses need mobile solutions – from contractors working at residential sites to consultants meeting clients throughout Northern Virginia.
Our mobile solutions include smartphone card readers, tablet-based systems, and portable wireless terminals that work anywhere you have cell coverage. You can process payments at customer locations, trade shows, or even outdoor events. All transactions are encrypted and secure, and funds are deposited into your account on the same schedule as your in-store sales.
Our systems have 99.9% uptime, but when issues do occur, you reach our technical support team immediately. We’re available Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 10 PM Eastern.
Most problems are resolved within minutes over the phone. For hardware issues, we provide same-day replacement equipment to Bristow businesses. We also offer backup processing methods, including manual card imprinters and phone authorization systems, so you never have to turn away a sale. Our local presence means we can provide on-site support when needed.
We integrate with most popular POS systems and accounting software used by Bristow businesses. This includes QuickBooks, Square, Clover, and many industry-specific solutions.
Our payment gateway can connect to your existing e-commerce platform, whether you’re using Shopify, WooCommerce, or a custom-built system. For businesses using specialized software for inventory management or customer relationships, we work with your IT team or software provider to ensure seamless integration. This eliminates double data entry and keeps your financial records accurate and up-to-date.
All transactions are processed through PCI-compliant systems with end-to-end encryption. Your customers’ card data is never stored on your equipment or transmitted in readable form.
We provide EMV chip card processing, which significantly reduces fraud risk compared to magnetic stripe transactions. Our systems also include real-time fraud monitoring that flags suspicious transactions before they’re processed. For businesses that store customer payment information for recurring billing, we use tokenization technology that replaces sensitive card data with secure tokens. As a registered ISO of PNC Bank, we meet the highest security standards in the industry.
