At Hudson River Payments, being LGBTQIA+ owned isn’t just part of who we are—it’s part of why we do what we do. We know firsthand how important it is for small businesses, especially queer-owned businesses, to feel supported, seen, and empowered. That’s why we built a credit card processing company with a different mindset: zero-cost processing, local 24/7 relationship managers, and real people who care—never a faceless 800 number. We’re proud to call the Hudson Valley home, and proud to stand with the LGBTQIA+ community as we help entrepreneurs keep more of their revenue and grow on their own terms. From cafés and salons to breweries, boutiques, and service providers, we provide smart tools like dual pricing, gift card programs, tip-friendly systems, and seamless gateway integrations. But beyond technology, what sets us apart is our community-first approach—supporting business owners with honesty, advocacy, and heart. As an LGBTQIA+ owned business and a founding supporter of Everywhere Is Queer, we know representation matters. We’re here to make sure queer-owned businesses thrive, not just survive
