Fernandina Beach, FLNassau County
Island businesses on Amelia Island, local support from the mainland.
Fernandina Beach is the main city on Amelia Island, with a historic downtown, a working waterfront and a steady flow of visitors. Its shops, restaurants, inns and charter businesses blend year-round locals with tourists, and their payment setup has to serve both.
01Local service
Card processing for Fernandina Beach businesses.
Doing business on an island means you cannot afford to wait days for help when something breaks. BrightStar provides support 24/7/365 by phone, and our Jacksonville team comes up to Fernandina Beach to meet in person by appointment, whether you need a statement review, new equipment or staff training. For charters, tours and rentals that take bookings and deposits ahead of time, online payments and card-on-file keep reservations organized. And because Fernandina Beach is the kind of town where businesses already show up for local causes, the Impact Network gives your account a way to support an island church, school or community group every month.
