Where we work in Bothell

Get startedWhat a payment processing broker does for a Bothell business
We're an independent merchant services broker, not a processor. We put banks and processors in competition for your Bothell 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. A Main Street brewery and a Bothell Way shop 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.
Bothell's downtown rebuild brought a wave of new restaurants and breweries, and new businesses are the ones most likely to have signed whatever processing contract landed in front of them first. A second look from a broker, before the introductory rate quietly steps up, usually pays for itself in the first statement.

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 Bothell brewery doing $60K a month at a 3% effective rate hands its processor $21,600 a year. On dual pricing, most of that stays in the business.
How dual pricing works →Bothell questions, answered
Are you local to Bothell?
We're based in Federal Way and work the north Eastside in person and by upload. You get a real broker, not a national call center.
We just opened. Should we wait?
No. New businesses most often get stuck with whatever contract they signed first, and introductory rates step up quietly. A free review now locks in a better deal before that happens.
Is dual pricing legal in Bothell?
Yes, statewide. We configure compliant signage, register flow and receipts from day one.
What should a Bothell 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.
We just need to see one recent statement. Upload it right here, or we'll swing by your Bothell business and grab it in person. One or the other, and the read is free.
