Get startedWhat a payment processing broker does for a Bellevue business
We're an independent merchant services broker, not a processor. We put banks and processors in competition for your Bellevue payment processing, so your credit card rates drop without changing how you take cards.
Processing is priced like used cars: published wholesale cost, invisible markup. An Old Bellevue boutique and a downtown restaurant doing similar volume can be a point apart on rate and never know. We make processors bid for your account, then re-audit so it stays honest.
Bellevue's commercial rents are among the highest in the state, and an affluent customer base doesn't blink at card payment, which means a higher card mix and higher fees flowing out the door. When the lease is already premium, trimming the processing line is one of the cleaner wins available to a Bellevue operator.

Read them all →“We've really appreciated having a local presence that we can interact with in person and get in person assistance... Very competitive rates. I absolutely recommend Northwest Payment Brokers!”
“Drew came out for the initial visit and helped with the setup, walking us through the entire process with ease. We're saving money with lower fees while getting top-notch service.”
“They made switching our payment processing incredibly easy. I needed a mobile solution that just works... It's rare to find a payment broker that actually cares about your bottom line.”
A Bellevue restaurant doing $90K a month at a 2.9% effective rate hands its processor about $31,000 a year. On dual pricing or a tighter bid, a large share of that stays with the business.
How dual pricing works →Bellevue questions, answered
Are you local to Bellevue?
We're based in Federal Way and work Eastside merchants in person and by upload. You get a real broker, not a national call center.
My customers all pay by card. Does that change the math?
It raises the stakes. A high card mix means more volume running through fees, so the rate you negotiate matters more, not less. Dual pricing can move most of that cost off your books.
Is dual pricing legal in Bellevue?
Yes, statewide. We configure compliant signage, register flow and receipts from day one.
What should a Bellevue business pay to take cards?
Effective rate is total fees over card volume. Healthy merchants land 2 to 2.5% traditional, or near 0% card cost on dual pricing. Over 2.5%, you're overpaying.
What does the rate analysis cost?
Nothing. One recent statement, read line by line: your real effective rate, the junk fees, and the number we'd bid for your volume. If your deal is already good, we say so.
It starts with one statement.
