Your customers complete their purchases instead of abandoning their carts. You get paid the next business day, not three days later. Your processing fees stop bleeding your profits dry.
That’s what happens when you work with a payment processor that understands Burke businesses need more than just transaction processing – you need cash flow that supports growth. Your customers get more ways to pay, which means higher conversion rates and fewer lost sales.
You stop worrying about whether your payment system will work when you need it most. Burke entrepreneurs tell us the difference is having a payment partner who treats their success like our own, not just another account number in a database.
We’ve been solving payment problems for businesses like yours since 1992. We’re not some faceless corporate machine – we’re 30+ payment professionals based in Annapolis, close enough to understand Burke’s business landscape.
We’ve earned the Best of Annapolis Award two consecutive years because we do what most payment companies won’t: treat your business like it matters. Our Burke clients know they can reach someone who understands their challenges, not a call center reading from scripts.
As a registered ISO of PNC Bank, your transactions are backed by one of America’s most trusted financial institutions. That stability matters when you’re building a business in Northern Virginia’s competitive market.
We start by analyzing what’s costing you money right now. Most Burke businesses discover they’re overpaying by 20-30% or losing sales to clunky checkout processes that drive customers away.
Next, we design a payment solution built around your actual business needs. Whether you process $5,000 monthly or $500,000, we configure the right combination of online gateways, fraud protection, and reporting tools that make sense for your operation.
Then we handle everything while you keep running your business. Our team manages the technical setup, integrates with your existing systems, tests thoroughly, and trains your staff. You’re typically processing payments within 3-5 business days with full support throughout the transition.
Ready to get started?
Your payment processing includes credit cards, debit cards, ACH transfers, mobile payments, and e-commerce integration. We provide terminals, gateways, fraud protection, and reporting tools that work together instead of against each other.
Burke’s diverse business community benefits from our flexible approach. Retail shops get countertop terminals that process transactions quickly. Service businesses get mobile solutions for on-site payments. E-commerce operations get robust online gateways that don’t crash during peak traffic.
Northern Virginia businesses also get real-time transaction monitoring, chargeback protection that actually prevents disputes, and customer loyalty programs that drive repeat business. In Fairfax County’s competitive environment, these aren’t nice-to-have features – they’re essential tools for sustainable growth.
Most Burke businesses are processing payments within 3-5 business days of approval. The exact timeline depends on your business type and current setup, but we prioritize speed because every day without proper payment processing costs you real money.
We handle the technical work while you focus on your business. Our team configures your online payment gateway, tests all systems thoroughly, and trains your staff before going live. For e-commerce businesses, we typically integrate with existing websites without disrupting your current operations.
If you’re switching from another processor, we coordinate the transition to minimize downtime. Burke businesses usually see improved cash flow within their first week due to our next-day funding schedule and lower processing fees.
Most Burke businesses pay between 2.3% and 2.9% in total processing costs when working with us. That includes interchange fees, our processing fees, and monthly service charges – no hidden surprises or confusing rate structures.
The exact rate depends on your monthly volume, average transaction size, and business type. Higher-volume businesses typically qualify for better rates, while newer businesses might start slightly higher until they establish processing history.
Many Burke businesses save 20-30% on processing costs when they switch to us because their previous processor was charging inflated rates or adding unnecessary fees. We’ll review your current statements and show you exactly where you can save money before you make any commitment.
We use the same security standards as major banks – end-to-end encryption, tokenization, and real-time fraud monitoring on every transaction. Your customer data is protected by multiple layers of security that exceed industry requirements.
As a registered ISO of PNC Bank, we maintain strict PCI DSS compliance and follow all industry regulations. This protects your business from liability in data breach situations and ensures customer information is handled according to the highest security standards.
Our fraud protection systems automatically flag suspicious transactions and can prevent chargebacks before they occur. Burke businesses using our platform report significantly fewer fraud-related losses compared to their previous processors, which directly impacts their bottom line.
We integrate with most popular business software including QuickBooks, Shopify, WooCommerce, and industry-specific platforms. Whether you’re using accounting software, inventory management, or custom systems, we can typically connect seamlessly.
Our technical team handles the integration process so you don’t deal with compatibility issues or system downtime. We test everything thoroughly before going live to ensure your existing workflows continue without interruption.
For Burke businesses with unique requirements or custom systems, we provide API access and work directly with your IT team or developer. The goal is making payment processing invisible to your daily operations while giving you better control and reporting.
You get direct access to our support team Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 10 PM Eastern. When you call, you reach someone who can actually solve problems, not a call center that just takes messages and creates tickets.
Our Burke clients have direct contact information for our team because we believe in building relationships, not just processing transactions. Business hours issues get resolved immediately. After-hours emergencies have protocols to get you back up and running fast.
We also provide ongoing account management, regular rate reviews to ensure you’re getting competitive pricing, and proactive monitoring to catch potential issues before they affect your business. Think of us as your payment processing partner who’s invested in your success.
When you process transactions today, those funds are in your bank account by the next business day. This applies to all major card types and most transaction types, giving you significantly better cash flow than the industry standard of 2-4 days.
The process is automatic – no requesting transfers or paying extra fees for faster funding. We batch and settle your transactions every business day, depositing funds directly into your designated business account.
For Burke businesses dealing with seasonal fluctuations or needing working capital for inventory and operations, next-day funding can make the difference between growth and stagnation. Better cash flow means you can seize opportunities and handle unexpected expenses without financial stress.
