Issaquah's villages are full of independents. Your card fees should fit a small shop.
We're payment brokers in Federal Way, negotiating processing for the I-90 corridor since 2010. One statement gets you a free line-by-line read; if we can't beat your deal, we'll tell you to keep it.
From Olde Town to Gilman Village, in person or by upload. Since 2010.

Get startedWhat a payment processing broker does for a Issaquah business
We're an independent merchant services broker, not a processor. We put banks and processors in competition for your Issaquah 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 Gilman Village boutique and an Olde Town brewpub 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.
Issaquah sits on the I-90 corridor near big employers like Costco's headquarters, but its charm is the independent villages, and those small operators are exactly who the big processors overcharge. A broker is the negotiator they never had, and the free statement read is where it starts.

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.”
An Issaquah restaurant doing $55K a month at a 3% effective rate hands its processor about $19,800 a year. On dual pricing, most of that stays with the owner.
How dual pricing works →Issaquah questions, answered
Are you local to Issaquah?
We're based in Federal Way and work the I-90 corridor in person and by upload. You get a real broker, not a national call center.
We're a small village shop. Is this worth it?
Yes. Small independents are overcharged most because no one negotiates for them. The free statement read costs nothing and usually finds money.
Is dual pricing legal in Issaquah?
Yes, statewide. We configure compliant signage, register flow and receipts from day one.
What should an Issaquah 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 Issaquah business and grab it in person. One or the other, and the read is free.
