Processing fees are eating into your margins. You know it, we know it, and most providers count on you accepting it as the cost of doing business.
Here’s what changes when you’re not overpaying: you get next-day funding instead of waiting three to five days for your money. You pay lower rates because we design your processing setup around how your business actually operates. You stop losing hours to clunky systems that require three calls to fix one problem.
Your cash flow improves. Your admin time drops. You can accept payments however your customers want to pay—in person, online, mobile, fleet cards, gift cards—without juggling multiple providers or platforms.
The businesses around Penn Mar Shopping Center and across Prince George’s County that switched to us aren’t just saving on fees. They’re running leaner operations with fewer payment-related interruptions.
First, we look at your current processing statement. Most businesses don’t realize they’re overpaying until someone actually breaks down the fees line by line. We do that.
Then we design a processing structure based on your business type and transaction patterns. A retail shop in Forestville processes differently than a contractor running a fleet or a restaurant handling tips. Your setup should reflect that.
You get your equipment or integration set up—whether that’s countertop terminals, wireless payment acceptance for mobile businesses, online payment acceptance for e-commerce, or fleet card processing for vehicles. Everything connects under one platform so you’re not managing multiple logins and reports.
Once you’re live, you get next-day funding and access to your personal rep. No phone trees. No ticket systems. When something needs attention, you call someone who knows your account.
Your monthly statement is transparent. You see exactly what you’re paying and why. If your business changes, your processing setup can adjust without starting over.

You get credit card and debit card processing with next-day funding and rates designed around your transaction type. Check acceptance is included if you still take checks. Fleet card processing gives you expense tracking and fuel management for any business running vehicles across Forestville, Suitland, District Heights, or the broader DMV area.
Wireless payment acceptance works for contractors, delivery services, or anyone who needs to process payments on-site. Online payment acceptance integrates with your website or invoicing system. Loyalty and gift card programs help you retain customers—74% of consumers have used gift card loyalty incentives in the past year, and it’s one of the simplest ways to drive repeat business.
You also get PCI compliance support, fraud protection, and reporting tools that actually make sense. The Prince George’s County business environment is competitive. Your payment system should help you move faster, not slow you down.
If you’re running a fleet, the fleet card market is growing fast because fuel price volatility makes cost tracking essential. You need to know what each vehicle is spending and where. Our fleet card processing handles that without adding complexity to your workflow.
Most small businesses in Maryland pay between 2.5% and 3.5% per transaction, but that’s just the interchange rate. What actually hits your account includes processing fees, monthly fees, PCI compliance fees, and sometimes statement fees or batch fees.
The problem isn’t the base rate—it’s everything else that gets added on. A lot of processors advertise low rates and then load the backend with fees you don’t see until your first statement.
We break it down upfront. You’ll know your effective rate, which is the total cost divided by your total volume. That’s the number that matters. For most Forestville businesses, we can lower that effective rate and get you next-day funding, which improves cash flow more than a slightly lower percentage ever could.
With us, you get next-day funding. That means payments processed today hit your bank account tomorrow.
Most providers still use two- to three-day funding cycles, and some stretch it to five days depending on your business type or risk profile. That delay kills cash flow, especially for small businesses that need working capital to restock inventory or cover payroll.
Next-day funding isn’t a premium feature here—it’s standard. And it makes a real difference when you’re managing a retail operation in Forestville or running a service business where you’re paying crews or buying materials. Faster access to your money means fewer cash crunches and less reliance on credit lines.
Yes. You shouldn’t need one provider for in-person transactions and another for online payment acceptance. That creates reconciliation headaches and doubles your fees.
We set you up with a single platform that handles countertop terminals, wireless payment acceptance for mobile jobs, and online payment processing through your website or invoicing system. Everything reports to the same dashboard, so you’re not logging into multiple accounts to see your daily totals.
If you’re running a business in Forestville that does both retail and online sales—or if you’re a contractor who invoices some clients and swipes cards for others—you need a system that handles all of it without extra complexity. That’s what we build.
Fleet card processing gives you control over fuel and vehicle expenses. Instead of handing drivers company credit cards and hoping they only use them for gas, you issue fleet cards that restrict purchases to fuel, limit transaction amounts, and track every gallon by vehicle.
You get detailed reporting that shows which trucks are burning more fuel, where they’re filling up, and whether anyone’s making purchases outside normal routes or hours. That level of visibility cuts waste and catches problems before they become expensive.
For businesses in Forestville running delivery vehicles, service trucks, or any kind of mobile operation, fleet cards also simplify accounting. Everything’s categorized automatically. At tax time, you’re not sorting through hundreds of receipts. The fleet card market is growing because it saves money and time—two things every business owner needs more of.
Gift cards bring in upfront revenue and attract new customers. When someone buys a gift card, you get paid immediately. When it’s redeemed, that customer often spends more than the card’s value. It’s one of the few marketing strategies that funds itself.
Loyalty programs keep customers coming back. Seventy-four percent of consumers have used gift card loyalty incentives in the past year, and 71% download merchant apps specifically to manage rewards. If you’re not offering it, your competitors probably are.
For Forestville retail shops, restaurants, or service businesses, a loyalty program doesn’t have to be complicated. We integrate it with your payment processing so points or rewards track automatically. Customers swipe, earn, and redeem without you doing anything manually. It builds repeat business without adding work to your day.
You call your personal account representative. Not a 1-800 number. Not a ticket system. An actual person who knows your account and can fix the problem or escalate it immediately.
Sixty-four percent of small businesses are unsatisfied with their current payment provider, and poor customer service is the top reason. When your terminal goes down or a batch doesn’t settle, you can’t afford to wait on hold for 45 minutes or deal with someone reading from a script.
We’ve been doing this since 1992, and we’re based in Maryland. You’re working with people who understand local businesses and can respond fast. If something breaks, we fix it. If you have a question about your statement, we walk through it. That’s how service should work.
