Bremerton runs on shipyard schedules. Your card fees shouldn't keep their own hours.
Our Federal Way team has been in business since 2010 and sets up processing deals across Puget Sound. Kitsap accounts get a ferry ride from us. Send one statement and we go over it top to bottom, free. If your deal can't be beaten, we tell you to stay put.
We come to your counter, anywhere from the ferry terminal out to Wheaton Way. In business since 2010.
Where we work in Bremerton
Bremerton has more than one main street. A boardwalk cafe by the ferry and a Callow Ave shop need different setups, so each gets its own.
The ferry terminal & downtown
Boardwalk cafes and bars that feed on foot traffic from the fast ferry to Seattle. Their margins rise and fall with the boat schedule. Dual pricing keeps a $12 lunch ticket from losing its edge to card fees.
How we set this up →Manette
Across the bridge, a walkable strip of small restaurants and shops. A clean card price and a POS sized to a small counter, not a chain system.
How we set this up →Wheaton Way & East Bremerton
Bremerton's big retail and service stretch. Auto shops and stores run big bills, some paid face to face and some typed in by hand. For that mix we look at interchange plus pricing (the card networks' cost plus one clear markup), which often fits better than a flat rate.
How we set this up →Callow Ave & Charleston
An older district of salons and small shops that run on appointments. Card on file and dual pricing that regulars barely notice.
How we set this up →Along Kitsap Way
Diners, motels and service businesses on the road into town. Fast counter terminals keep shift-change crowds moving.
How we set this up →In another part of Bremerton? We cover it too.
We also cover Perry Ave, Rocky Point and the Navy Yard City strip. Wherever you take cards in Bremerton, your statement review is free.
Get startedWhat a broker does for a shop that takes cards in Bremerton
We work for you, and banks and processors compete to win your Bremerton account. Every offer comes to you side by side, and you pick.
Anyone can find the wholesale cost of a card sale, but nobody posts the markup. Put a Manette cafe next to a Wheaton Way auto shop with equal card sales, and their rates could be far apart without either owner having a clue. We make processors bid for your account and show you every offer.
The Naval Shipyard sets Bremerton's pace more than people say. Paydays and shift changes bring the rush, and much of it lands near the ferry dock and on Wheaton Way. The 2 to 3% card line is one cost on your P&L you can really push back on. Dual pricing shows a cash price and a card price and drops that line near zero. A fresh rate deal cuts it the usual way. We do both and tell you which one suits your counter.

“Very nice to work with”
“wonderful. quick response with any questions or issues. highly recommend”
Take a Bremerton restaurant with $45K a month in card sales at a 3% real rate. That's $16,200 a year to its processor. On dual pricing, most of that stays in the till. That kind of money could cover a part-time line cook.
How dual pricing works →Bremerton questions, answered
Will you actually come over to Bremerton?
Yes, in person. For Kitsap accounts we ride the ferry or drive around the Sound. We read your statement at your counter and do the install on site. You shake hands with your broker instead of hearing a call center voice.
What's a fair price for a Bremerton business to take cards?
Add up all your fees and divide by your card sales. The answer is your real rate. The healthy shops we review sit between 2 and 2.5% on old-style pricing. On dual pricing the card cost is near 0%. Anything over 2.5% likely means your processor is charging too much.
Is it legal to show a cash price and a card price in Bremerton?
Yes. You can show a cash price and a card price in all 50 states, including Washington. We put up the signs, set the register steps and fix the receipts, so it runs right from the first day.
Do shipyard shifts really change my card costs?
They shape your traffic, and traffic shapes how much fee you carry on peak days. A rush around shift change or Navy payday crams card sales into a short window. When sales bunch up like that, a right-sized rate matters even more.
What POS do you put in for Bremerton shops?
We install Clover, KORONA, Exatouch and others. We fit the gear to your trade instead of to what's on the truck. Accounts we open get it free, with no lease line.
Do I pay anything for the statement review?
Not a cent. Hand us your latest statement and we read every part of it. You learn your real rate, see each junk fee named, and get the number we'd bid. If you already have a good deal, we tell you.
