Card-Present Processing That Just Works
Every in-store transaction should be effortless — for you and your customers. Bridge provides retail credit card processing designed around speed, reliability, and the lowest possible interchange rates. Because card-present transactions carry less fraud risk than online orders, you benefit from significantly lower processing fees.
Our POS payment processing solutions support EMV chip cards, magnetic stripe, contactless NFC payments (Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay), and PIN debit — all through a single terminal. No extra hardware. No extra contracts.
Terminal & Hardware Options
Traditional wired terminals with built-in printers — ideal for checkout counters and fixed registers.
Battery-powered, Wi-Fi or cellular — perfect for tableside service, pop-ups, and delivery.
Touchscreen devices running full POS software with inventory, tipping, and reporting built in.
EMV Chip & Contactless: The New Standard
EMV Chip Security
Chip cards generate a unique code per transaction, virtually eliminating counterfeit fraud. EMV compliance also shifts liability away from your business.
Contactless & NFC
Tap-to-pay transactions complete in under two seconds. Customers love the speed, and you benefit from higher throughput during peak hours.
PIN Debit Routing
PIN debit transactions often carry the lowest interchange rates of all card types. Our terminals support dual-routing to help you capture every saving.
Interchange-Plus: Transparent Retail Pricing
Most processors hide their margins behind tiered or flat-rate pricing. Bridge uses interchange-plus pricing, which means you pay the actual card network rate (set by Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and Amex) plus a small, fixed markup from us. Nothing hidden. Nothing bundled.
For retail merchants, card-present interchange rates start as low as 1.51% + $0.10 for standard Visa consumer credit cards — significantly less than the 2.6%+ flat rates charged by Square or Stripe.
