Get startedWhat a payment processing broker does for a Burien business
We're an independent merchant services broker, not a processor. We put banks and processors in competition for your Burien 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 Town Square restaurant and a 1st Ave dealer 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.
Burien's independent and immigrant-owned businesses are the heart of the city, and they're also the ones processors overcharge most, because nobody's negotiating for them. Many already run cash-heavy, which makes dual pricing a natural fit: it formalizes the cash habit your regulars already have, compliantly.

“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 Burien restaurant doing $45K a month at a 3% effective rate hands its processor about $16,200 a year. On dual pricing, most of that stays in the family business.
How dual pricing works →Burien questions, answered
Do you cover Burien in person?
Yes. We're a short drive south in Federal Way; statement reviews at your counter, installs on site, and a broker you'll meet in person.
My customers already pay cash a lot. Does that help?
It makes dual pricing an easy fit. The program simply formalizes the cash-versus-card choice your regulars already make, with compliant signage and receipts, and moves most of your card cost off the books.
Is dual pricing legal in Burien?
Yes, statewide. We configure compliant signage, register flow and receipts from day one.
What should a Burien 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 Burien business and grab it in person. One or the other, and the read is free.
