What Happens When Payments Actually Work

You wake up to money in your account. Your customers check out in seconds, not minutes. No more wondering if a payment went through or dealing with declined cards that cost you sales.

When your payment processing runs smoothly, you focus on what you do best instead of wrestling with technology. Your cash flow improves because funds hit your account in 2-4 business days, not a week later. Customers trust you more because their transactions feel secure and professional.

The headaches disappear. No more emergency calls about broken terminals or confused customers who can’t complete their purchase. Your payment system becomes invisible in the best way possible.

How quickly can I start accepting credit card payments?

Most Bethesda businesses can start processing payments within 24-48 hours of approval. The timeline depends on your business type and the complexity of your setup.

For simple retail or service businesses, we can often have you up and running the same day if you apply early in the morning. More complex setups, like restaurants with integrated POS systems or e-commerce sites with custom payment gateways, might take 2-3 business days.

We handle all the paperwork and technical setup, so you don’t have to worry about the details. Our local team ensures everything is configured correctly before you process your first transaction.

Our pricing is straightforward: you pay a small percentage of each transaction plus a fixed fee. Most Bethesda businesses pay between 2.6% and 3.5% depending on how the card is processed.

In-person transactions with chip cards typically cost less than online or phone orders. We don’t charge monthly fees, setup fees, or cancellation fees. You only pay when you make money.

We provide a detailed rate sheet upfront, so you know exactly what each type of transaction will cost. No hidden fees, no surprises on your statement.

Your customer payment data is protected by multiple layers of security. All transactions are encrypted using industry-standard SSL technology, and we’re fully PCI compliant.

We use advanced fraud detection tools that analyze each transaction in real-time. Suspicious activity gets flagged automatically, protecting both you and your customers from fraudulent charges.

Customer credit card information is never stored on your systems. Everything is handled through secure, encrypted channels that meet the highest banking security standards.

Yes, our payment terminals and online systems accept all major mobile wallets including Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, and contactless credit cards.

Mobile payments are actually more secure than traditional card swipes because they use tokenization technology. Your customers simply tap their phone or card near the terminal, and the payment processes instantly.

This is especially important for Bethesda businesses since many of your customers expect modern payment options. Mobile payments are faster for customers and reduce the risk of fraud for your business.

Our customer support team is available Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Eastern Time. When you call, you reach knowledgeable support staff, not an overseas call center.

Most issues can be resolved over the phone within minutes. For more complex problems, we can remotely access your system to diagnose and fix issues quickly.

Since we’re based in Maryland, we can also provide on-site support for Bethesda businesses when needed. Our goal is to minimize any disruption to your ability to accept payments.

Absolutely. Many Bethesda businesses operate both physical locations and online stores, and we handle both seamlessly through integrated systems.

Your online and in-person transactions are processed through the same account, giving you unified reporting and simplified reconciliation. Customers can start a purchase online and complete it in your store, or vice versa.

We can integrate with most e-commerce platforms and shopping carts, including Shopify, WooCommerce, and custom-built websites. Your online payment gateway connects directly to your merchant account for consistent processing and reporting.
