The hidden cost in every statement
You're overpaying
your processor.
Most merchants are.
Buried markups, padded PCI charges, and equipment leases quietly drain five figures a year from high-volume merchants. We read the statement line by line, then broker the processor that actually fits — low or high risk, in store or online.

Learn moreThe broker model
We sit on your side of the table.
Empower Business Services is a broker and consultancy — not a processor. Processors compete for your account through us, which means our recommendation is driven by your economics, not by a single provider's quota. We stay independent, and we stay accountable to you.
One brief, every network
You tell us the business once. We shop it across our acquiring banks, gateways, and processor partners instead of you filling out ten applications.
Interchange-level analysis
We read your statement down to the interchange line, separate pass-through cost from markup, and model what each offer really costs at your volume.
Underwriting advocacy
For high-risk and hard-to-place merchants we package the file, defend it in underwriting, and negotiate reserves and rolling holds on your behalf.
Leverage that lasts
Rates drift. We re-bid your account as you scale so the deal you signed keeps pace with the volume you're doing today.
POS + CRM
Payments, point of sale, and customer data in one stack.
We only place merchants with processors whose POS ships with a real CRM behind it — so the system that takes the payment also grows the relationship.
A point of sale matched to how you actually sell.
Counter-service, full-service, mobile, kiosk, or online checkout — we spec the hardware and software combination that fits your throughput, then load your menu, catalog, modifiers, and tax rules before it ships.

FAQ
Questions merchants ask us first.
Straight answers, no processor sales script.
We act as your buying agent. We audit your current processing costs, take your business to multiple acquirers and processors, negotiate the pricing and terms, then manage the setup and ongoing account. You get one point of contact instead of a dozen sales reps.
The statement review and recommendation are free. We are compensated by the processing partner once you decide to move forward, and we show you the full cost structure of the program before you sign anything.
Yes. Subscription billing, nutraceuticals, firearms, CBD, travel, and other hard-to-place verticals are a core part of what we do. We package the underwriting file and negotiate reserve terms so the account stays stable.
Not always. If your current hardware can be reprogrammed to a better-priced processor, we do that. If the hardware is the bottleneck, we spec a replacement, load your catalog, and train your staff before switchover.
The POS platforms we place capture customer identity at checkout and write it into a built-in CRM. That powers loyalty, targeted campaigns, and repeat-visit automation without you exporting spreadsheets between systems.
Most low-risk accounts are approved in about 48 hours and live within a week. High-risk placements typically run one to three weeks depending on underwriting requirements.
