Our Story

Why Choose a Merchant Services Provider Built Around You?

I have been in payment processing since 2009 — long enough to watch the same story unfold again and again: hard-working organizations trapped in confusing contracts, ignored when they called for help, and left holding the bill when something went wrong.

My team and I sat across the table from enough frustrated decision-makers to know that the industry had a people problem. Great technology meant nothing when no one was there to support it. So I stopped waiting for someone else to fix it.

I built Brookside from the ground up with one promise: every client, regardless of size or industry, gets the same level of attention and expertise my team and I would want for ourselves. No tiers. No fine print. No getting passed around.

This is personal to me. When your payments work, your business grows. When they don’t, I feel it too. That’s why my team and I answer the phone, stand behind every solution, and fight for your success like it’s our own.

Why It Matters
“I didn’t start Brookside to process transactions. I started it because too many good businesses were being let down by providers who only saw them as a number.”
