Tumwater is brewing something. Keep more of what you pour and what you sell.
We're payment brokers based in Federal Way. We have worked on processing deals for the South Sound since 2010. Send us one statement. We read it line by line, free. If we can't beat your deal, we'll tell you to keep it.
In person or by upload. From the Brewery District to Capitol Boulevard. We have done this since 2010.
Where we work in Tumwater
Tumwater is building a craft drink scene on the old brewing grounds. It has retail strips too. A tasting room and a Capitol Blvd store need different setups. We build for both.
Brewery / Craft District
Breweries, distilleries and tasting rooms. They sit on the old grounds of the Olympia Brewery. Fast terminals and dual pricing. We guard thin drink margins.
How we set this up →Capitol Boulevard corridor
Shops and places to eat that have been on this strip for years. A POS and card prices your customers can read.
How we set this up →Southgate retail
Shopping centers and chain food spots with steady volume. A setup built to keep check out fast.
How we set this up →Airport / light industrial
Plants and B2B firms that take keyed and billed payments. The right gateway and price plan matter here.
How we set this up →In another part of Tumwater? We cover it too.
Tumwater Hill, the Littlerock Rd corridor, the Trosper strip. If you take cards in Tumwater, the free statement read is yours.
Get startedWhat a broker does for a shop that takes cards in Tumwater
We are a broker, not a processor. We work for you, not for them. We make banks and processors bid against each other for your Tumwater account. Your card rates drop. The way you take cards does not change.
Card processing is priced like used cars. The wholesale cost is public. The markup on top is not. A Brewery District tasting room and a Capitol Blvd retailer can do the same volume and sit a point apart on rate. Neither would know. We make processors bid for your account. Then we check it again so the rate does not creep back up.
Tumwater has turned the grounds of the old Olympia Brewery into a real craft drink hub. A community-college program feeds new breweries and distilleries. Tasting-room margins are thin. Most tabs run on card. So dual pricing and a tuned rate are well worth it for shops leaning into that.

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 Tumwater brewery doing $45K a month at a 3% real rate hands its processor about $16,200 a year. On dual pricing, most of that stays in the shop.
How dual pricing works →Tumwater questions, answered
Do you serve Tumwater in person?
Yes. We're up I-5 in Federal Way, and we work South Sound merchants in person and by upload. You get a real broker, not a national call center.
I run a tasting room. Is dual pricing a fit?
Often yes. Drink margins are thin. Most tabs run on card. A dual pricing setup done right moves the card cost off the books. That keeps real money in the shop.
Is dual pricing legal in Tumwater?
Yes, all over the state. We set up the signs, the register steps and the receipts on day one.
What should a Tumwater 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 check cost?
Nothing. Send us one recent statement. We read it line by line. You get your real rate, the junk fees by name, and the number we would bid for your volume. If your deal is already good, we say so.
It starts with one statement.
