01Local service

Card processing for Ponte Vedra Beach businesses.

Customers in Ponte Vedra Beach frequently pay with premium rewards and business cards, which carry higher interchange. That makes transparent pricing especially valuable, because on some plans the processor quietly marks up those cards even more. We show you where every dollar goes, and we put our match-or-beat rate guarantee in writing. For practices and professional firms, invoicing, card-on-file and a virtual terminal handle payments without a front-desk register. Our Jacksonville team meets with owners in person by appointment, and every account can direct a monthly gift to a school, church or foundation the business already supports.

05Questions

Doing business with BrightStar in Ponte Vedra Beach.

Also serving Jacksonville Beach, St. Augustine and Jacksonville.

Do premium rewards cards really cost more to accept?

Generally, yes. Interchange is higher for many rewards and business cards. That cost is set by the card networks, but the markup on top of it is not, and that is where a statement review often finds savings.

Can my practice bill clients without a countertop terminal?

Yes. Invoicing, payment links, card-on-file and a virtual terminal let you collect payments by email, by phone or at the front desk on a tablet or computer.

Will someone meet with me in Ponte Vedra Beach?

Yes. We are based in Jacksonville and meet with business owners across Northeast Florida in person by appointment. Call (904) 562-1379 to schedule.
