01Local service

Card processing for Jacksonville businesses.

Jacksonville is a big city that still does business by relationship, and it covers a lot of ground. A shop owner in one part of town and a contractor in another have very different days, but both want a processor that picks up the phone and explains the bill in plain language. Because our office is here, we can meet you at your location by appointment, set up and test new equipment in person, and stay available for support around the clock. Through the BrightStar Impact Network, every account can also send a monthly gift to a Jacksonville ministry, school or community group you choose. Local ministries we have supported include Mercy Support Services, The Father's Heart and The Florida Striders.
