💕 Please help Your Little Guide Girl officially welcome CDE Payment Solutions to the Little Guide family!
I am SO excited to be working with Nealie and the amazing team at CDE Payment Solutions and helping more local business owners throughout the CSRA discover what they do.
Because if you own a business, you already know accepting payments is a necessity. But what I’ve learned from Nealie is that not all payment processors are built the same. CDE has been in the payment industry since 1989, and they do so much more than hand you a terminal and quote you a processing rate. They understand everything happening behind that transaction, from pricing and PCI compliance to equipment, integrations, funding, EBT/SNAP and alternative payment methods.
And when something isn’t working? You have real people to call who actually know your business. That’s the part I especially love.
CDE gives our local businesses the best of both worlds: a relationship close to home with Nealie and her local team, backed by decades of payment experience and an entire team of professionals behind them. They even have an in-house product team that can help adapt solutions around a merchant’s specific needs, and they’re a certified Key Injection Facility, meaning equipment can be securely tested and deployed directly from their facility instead of relying on a third party.
In other words, there is a LOT more happening behind that little card swipe than Your Little Guide Girl ever realized!
Nealie, I’m so happy to officially welcome you and the CDE team to our Little Guide family. I can’t wait to help tell your story and introduce you to more of the local business owners we both love supporting.
And speaking of our Little Guide family…our 2027 Little Guide is filling up FAST!
If you’ve been thinking about joining us, now is the time to reach out. I’d love to come through your doors, hear your story, and talk about how Little Guide can help more of the CSRA discover YOU.
Shop local. Support local. Grow local. 💕
— Your Little Guide Girl,
Elaine
