You’re running a business, not a payment processing department. When your payment system works the way it should, transactions flow smoothly without you thinking about it. Your customers swipe, tap, or click – and you see the money in your account the next business day.
No more wondering if a payment went through. No more losing sales because your system crashed during peak hours. No more explaining to customers why their card got declined when it shouldn’t have.
With the right payment processing setup, you focus on what you do best while your payment system handles what it does best. Simple as that.
We’ve been helping National Harbor area businesses process payments for over three decades. We’re not some fly-by-night operation or faceless corporation – we’re a local Maryland company with over 30 full-time employees right here in Annapolis.
We earned the 2023 Best of Annapolis Award in Business Development Services because we actually care about getting things right the first time. When you call, you talk to someone who knows your account and understands your business.
National Harbor’s mix of tourism, hospitality, and retail businesses means payment processing needs vary wildly from business to business. We’ve seen it all and know exactly what works for different types of operations in this area.
First, we sit down and actually listen to what your business needs. Not what we think you need – what you actually need. We look at your transaction volume, average ticket size, and how you currently accept payments.
Then we design a custom solution that fits your specific situation. No cookie-cutter packages or forcing you into plans that don’t make sense. We match you with the right equipment, the right rates, and the right features for your business.
Finally, we handle the setup and make sure everything works perfectly before you process your first transaction. We test everything, train your team, and stay available until you’re completely comfortable with the new system. No surprises, no hidden fees, no getting abandoned after the sale.

Your National Harbor business gets access to credit card processing, debit card processing, electronic check conversion, gift cards, loyalty programs, and mobile payment solutions. All from one provider, all on one statement, all with one phone number to call.
National Harbor businesses deal with tourists paying with out-of-state cards, locals using mobile wallets, and corporate clients preferring ACH transfers. We handle all of it without you having to juggle multiple vendors or figure out why different systems don’t talk to each other.
Whether you’re processing payments at the waterfront, in a hotel, at a restaurant, or through your website, everything connects seamlessly. Your sales data flows into one dashboard where you can actually understand what’s happening with your business.
Processing rates depend on your business type, average transaction amount, and monthly volume. Most National Harbor businesses see rates between 1.5% and 3.5% per transaction, but the exact rate varies significantly based on your specific situation.
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all pricing because every business is different. A restaurant processing $50 average tickets needs different pricing than a hotel processing $200 room charges. We analyze your actual transaction patterns and create custom pricing that makes sense for your business.
The key isn’t just finding the lowest advertised rate – it’s finding the structure that saves you the most money based on how you actually process payments. We show you exactly what you’ll pay before you sign anything.
Most National Harbor businesses are processing payments within 3-5 business days of approval. The timeline depends on your business type, processing history, and how quickly you provide the required documentation.
We handle the application process for you and stay in constant contact with the underwriting department to prevent delays. Unlike other processors who leave you guessing about your approval status, we update you every step of the way and let you know immediately if additional information is needed.
For existing businesses with clean processing history, approval often happens within 24-48 hours. New businesses or those in specialized industries might take a few extra days, but we keep you informed throughout the entire process so there are no surprises.
Absolutely. Every payment terminal we provide accepts EMV chip cards, contactless cards, mobile wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay, and traditional magnetic stripe cards. National Harbor attracts visitors from all over who expect to pay however they prefer.
Our terminals also handle international cards without any special setup or additional fees. With the tourism traffic in National Harbor, you’ll regularly see cards from other countries, and our system processes them just like domestic cards.
Mobile payment acceptance isn’t optional anymore – it’s expected. Our equipment handles all current payment methods and automatically updates to support new ones as they become available. You won’t need to upgrade hardware every time payment technology changes.
We provide 24/7 technical support and emergency equipment replacement. If your terminal stops working during business hours, we can often walk you through a quick fix over the phone. If that doesn’t solve the problem, we ship replacement equipment the same day.
For National Harbor businesses that can’t afford downtime, we offer backup terminals and mobile processing solutions that keep you running while we resolve the main issue. You don’t lose sales because of equipment problems.
Our support team knows your account details and equipment setup, so you don’t have to explain your entire situation every time you call. We answer the phone quickly and solve problems fast because we understand that every minute your payment system is down costs you money.
Yes, we provide complete e-commerce payment solutions including payment gateways, shopping cart integration, and secure online payment processing. Many National Harbor businesses need both in-person and online payment capabilities, and we handle both seamlessly.
Our payment gateway integrates with most popular e-commerce platforms and shopping carts. Whether you’re using Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, or a custom website, we can connect your online store to accept credit cards, debit cards, and ACH payments securely.
Online payment processing requires different security standards and compliance requirements than in-person transactions. We handle all the technical details, PCI compliance, and fraud protection so you can focus on growing your online sales without worrying about payment security.
We’re a local Maryland company that’s been serving businesses since 1992, not a call center operation that treats you like an account number. When you need help, you talk to someone who knows your business and can actually solve your problem quickly.
We design custom payment solutions instead of forcing you into preset packages that don’t fit your needs. Every business processes payments differently, and cookie-cutter solutions usually cost more and work worse than systems built specifically for your situation.
Most importantly, we don’t disappear after the sale. We stay involved, monitor your account performance, and proactively suggest improvements that save you money or increase efficiency. Our job isn’t just to process your payments – it’s to help your payment processing support your business growth.
