When your payment processing actually works for your business instead of against it, everything changes. You stop worrying about whether transactions will go through. You stop losing customers who walk away when their card gets declined for no reason.
Your cash flow becomes predictable because funds hit your account when they’re supposed to. You spend less time on the phone with support because the system just works. And you keep more of what you earn because you’re not getting nickel-and-dimed with fees you didn’t know existed.
That’s what happens when you work with a processor who understands that your success is our success. No games, no surprises, just reliable payment processing that helps your Chantilly business grow.
We’ve been helping businesses like yours since 1992. We’re not some fly-by-night operation or faceless corporation. We’re a team of over 30 dedicated professionals based in Annapolis, Maryland, and we’ve built our reputation on actually solving problems instead of creating them.
We’ve earned recognition as the Best of Annapolis Award winner for business development services in both 2023 and 2024. But what matters more is that we’ve helped thousands of businesses in Virginia and across the region process payments reliably, affordably, and without the headaches that come with most processors.
The Northern Virginia market, including Chantilly, has unique needs. You’ve got everything from small family businesses to growing tech companies to established retail operations. We understand that one-size-fits-all doesn’t work, which is why we design each solution around your specific requirements.
First, we actually listen to what you need. No high-pressure sales pitch, no trying to sell you equipment you don’t want. We look at your business, your transaction volume, and your current pain points to design a solution that makes sense.
Next, we handle the paperwork and setup. Most businesses are approved and ready to process within 24 hours. We program your equipment, test everything, and make sure you’re comfortable with how it all works before we consider the job done.
Then you start processing payments. Funds typically hit your bank account within 2-4 business days. If you have questions or issues, you call us directly. No phone trees, no offshore call centers. You get a real person who knows your account and can actually help you solve problems.

You get credit and debit card processing, obviously. But you also get electronic check processing, gift card programs, and loyalty card solutions. Mobile payments, online payment gateways, and point-of-sale systems that actually integrate with your existing setup.
For Chantilly businesses, this matters because you’re competing with everyone from Amazon to the big box stores down Route 28. Your customers expect options. They want to pay with Apple Pay at your retail location, use their corporate card for B2B purchases, and have the flexibility to pay online or over the phone when convenient.
We provide fraud protection tools that actually work, not just checkbox features that sound good in marketing materials. Real-time transaction monitoring, address verification, and customizable risk settings that catch problems before they become chargebacks. Because in a market like Northern Virginia, where business moves fast, you can’t afford to get stuck dealing with payment disputes that could have been prevented.
Processing fees vary based on your business type, transaction volume, and the mix of card types you accept. Small businesses typically see rates between 2.5% and 3.5%, while higher-volume businesses often qualify for lower rates.
We focus on transparent pricing without hidden fees. That means no surprise charges for PCI compliance, no monthly minimums that don’t make sense for your business, and no equipment rental fees that end up costing more than buying the terminal outright. When we quote you a rate, that’s what you pay.
The key is understanding your actual costs, not just the headline rate. Some processors advertise low rates but make up for it with fees and markups elsewhere. We break down exactly what you’re paying and why, so you can make an informed decision about what works for your Chantilly business.
Most businesses are approved and processing within 24 hours. The timeline depends on your business type and whether you need specialized equipment, but we prioritize getting you up and running quickly.
For straightforward retail or service businesses in Chantilly, the process is usually same-day approval once we have your application. We can often program and ship equipment the same day, or if you’re local, we can arrange for same-day setup.
If you’re in a specialized industry or have unique processing needs, it might take an extra day or two to ensure everything is configured correctly. But we don’t believe in making you wait weeks for something that should happen quickly. Your business needs to accept payments now, not eventually.
Your customers can use all major credit and debit cards, including Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. They can also use mobile payments like Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay through our EMV-enabled terminals.
For online businesses or phone orders, we provide secure payment gateways that handle card-not-present transactions safely. Electronic check processing is available for customers who prefer ACH payments, which can be especially useful for larger transactions or recurring billing.
We can also set up gift card and loyalty programs if those make sense for your business. The goal is giving your Chantilly customers every reasonable way to pay, because the easier you make it for them to give you money, the more likely they are to complete their purchase instead of going somewhere else.
Our customer support is available Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 10 PM Eastern Time, and we provide 24/7 technical support for processing issues. When your system goes down or you have a problem processing payments, you need help immediately, not during business hours.
The difference is that when you call, you get someone who actually knows payment processing, not someone reading from a script. Our support team can troubleshoot equipment issues, help with transaction problems, and walk you through processing procedures when you need assistance.
For Chantilly businesses, this matters because you might be processing payments at 9 PM on a Saturday or need help with a large transaction on Sunday morning. We understand that business doesn’t stop at 5 PM, and neither does our commitment to keeping your payment processing running smoothly.
All transactions are processed through PCI-compliant systems with end-to-end encryption. Your customer data is tokenized, which means sensitive card information is replaced with non-sensitive tokens that are useless to anyone who might intercept them.
We provide fraud detection tools that monitor transactions in real-time and flag suspicious activity before it becomes a problem. Address verification, CVV checking, and velocity filters help catch fraudulent transactions while allowing legitimate purchases to go through smoothly.
For Chantilly businesses, security isn’t just about compliance—it’s about protecting your reputation and avoiding the costs that come with data breaches or fraud. Our systems are designed to meet the highest security standards while still being easy for you and your customers to use. Because the best security is security that works without getting in the way of legitimate business.
Yes, you can use any business bank account you choose for your payment processing deposits. We don’t require you to change banks or open new accounts as a condition of service.
Your processed payments are deposited directly into your existing business account, typically within 2-4 business days of the transaction. You’ll receive detailed deposit reports so you can easily reconcile your payments with your bank statements.
This flexibility matters for established Chantilly businesses that have banking relationships they want to maintain. Whether you bank locally or with a national institution, we can work with your existing setup. The goal is making payment processing fit into your business operations, not forcing you to change how you operate to accommodate the processor.
