About Watchdog Merchant Services

About Watchdog Merchant Services

Watchdog Merchant Services began as a merchant advocate in 2011, assisting Merchants in resolving issues with their merchant service provider or leasing company. Evaluating their Merchant Processing Agreement and statements we were able to determine if there were any differences between what they signed up for and what they were provided. Based on the results we provide guidance and assistance as needed to resolve any issues that were uncovered. 


We became a Merchant Service Provider after many of our clients asked us why we couldn't provide a processing solution. We evaluated our business model and determined that it would fit into our business without causing a conflict of interest. Being Transparent in all our business dealings, would mean that we value our clients over any minor costs and that our solutions will be based on individual needs without sacrificing service.

Our solutions vary depending on the industry served and size of the business as it equates to average ticket and sales volume. We offer a range of processing types, Cost Plus and Set Monthly Fee for low volume merchants. Tiered Processing is never offered. We also have a Cash Discount Program as well as a Surcharge Program. 


We offer purchase and rental options and in some cases a loaner terminal is available to meet your immediate processing needs. In most cases we can reprogram existing equipment. We always provide up to date technology and We try not to provide equipment that is tied to a specific processor to protect your equipment assets and provide flexibility when looking at processing features and cost.

I wanted to take a moment and make you all aware of what it has been like doing business with Watchdog Merchant Services and especially Mitchell Reisberg. We have been serving the Brooklyn community £or well over 30 years and in all the time we have been accepting credit cards, NEVER has it been so honest and easy as it has been dealing with you and Mitchell. 


When Mitchell approached us about Watchdog, he told us about all the good things Watchdog did which has certainly been in stark contrast to all the lying and deceit that we have experienced with so many other companies. For the first time in as long as I can remember, I can read and understand my merchant statement and have not had to worry about hidden fees and ever-increasing prices. It just doesn't happen. 


Whenever a service issue has arisen, such as our cable provider going down, Mitchell and his “man on the inside", have been able to immediately help me so we do not miss a single sale. Mitchell has been a regular visitor to our establishment, always making sure everything is running smoothly. 


As you can imagine, we receive at least three to four calls a week from other companies promising us the sun and the moon. Mitchell has always told us there is no grass any greener than the grass where Watchdog is. I now know that to be a fact and I just wanted to thank you all for everything that you have done for my business.
