Brookside Payments brings 20+ years of merchant services experience to small and mid-size businesses. We specialize in interchange-plus pricing and dual pricing programs — two of the most transparent pricing models available — with no long-term contracts, no hidden fees, and a local representative who picks up the phone. Our focus is simple: help merchants understand exactly what they're paying and why, then structure a merchant account that works in their favor. Every business deserves honest advice, whether they end up working with us or not.
