Credit card processing in Van Nuys & Sherman Oaks.
Van Nuys runs on auto, service, and industrial businesses along Van Nuys Blvd and Sepulveda. Sherman Oaks brings Ventura Blvd restaurants, boutiques, and fitness studios. Both are within about 10 miles of Drew’s base in Winnetka.
What to look for on a Van Nuys & Sherman Oaks processing statement.
Every business is different, but these are the patterns worth checking first.
Auto & service tickets
Repair and service shops run larger tickets where the percentage dominates, and cash discount pricing is common in some auto categories.
Memberships & recurring billing
Fitness studios and memberships bill the same customers every month. Recurring billing and card-on-file costs deserve a close look.
Fees stacked across tools
A POS subscription, a gateway, a terminal rental, a PCI fee. Separate line items add up, and they’re easy to miss without a line-by-line read.

Drew is based in Winnetka, so this is close to home. In-person visits are usually practical here: he can come by, review your statement with you, and walk you through your options.
California rules apply here too. Under a cash discount program, customers who pay by card see a non-cash adjustment (the posted card price), and customers who pay cash receive a discount. Cash discount and surcharge programs are subject to card-brand rules and California law (including Cal. Civ. Code §1748.1 and the state’s Honest Pricing Law). A compliance review is recommended before any program goes live. This isn’t legal advice.
