Who Is Bridge?
Merchant account experts who put your business first.
Bridge was founded in 2011 by Dan Cadesky with a straightforward mission: help businesses find the right credit card processor without the headaches, hidden fees, or one-size-fits-all solutions that plague the payments industry. What started as a consultancy serving a handful of local merchants has grown into a full-service payment processing brokerage with offices in Beachwood, Ohio, Riverside, California, and Toronto, Canada.
Unlike traditional merchant account providers that push a single platform, Bridge operates as a processor-agnostic broker. We evaluate dozens of acquiring banks, payment gateways, and processing platforms to find the combination that delivers the lowest effective rate, the best gateway features, and the most reliable underwriting for your specific business type. Whether you run a straightforward retail shop or a complex high-risk operation, we match you with the processor built to handle your industry.
Over 15 years we have saved our clients more than $10 million in processing fees — and our 98.5% client retention rate proves that the savings stick. We don’t lock merchants into long-term contracts or charge early termination fees. Our clients stay because the service, pricing, and support genuinely work.
Co-founded by Justin W Boggs, Bridge has expanded into specialized verticals including debt collection, e-commerce, high-risk industries, and ACH/EFT processing. We have placed merchant accounts in more than 73 industries, many of which are considered difficult or high-risk by conventional processors.

Meet the Team
The people behind every merchant account placement.
We were rejected by three processors before Bridge stepped in. Dan found us a solution in 48 hours with better rates than we’d ever had. Five years later, we’re still with them.

What We Stand For
Transparency
No hidden fees, no bait-and-switch pricing, no long-term contracts. We show you exactly what you’ll pay — and we put it in writing. Our rate reviews are free and come with no obligation.
Relationships First
Our 98.5% retention rate isn’t a marketing number — it’s the result of treating every merchant like a long-term partner. We answer the phone, return calls the same day, and proactively check on your account.
Right Fit, Every Time
We don’t push one processor. We evaluate your industry, volume, risk profile, and growth plans to match you with the acquiring bank and gateway built for your business.
