Fi v e - s t a r s e r v i c e indeed! We were extremely pleased with the credit card Don Raiche services provided by Don Raiche. He promptly analyzed our existing terms and then seamlessly established a new vendor account and terminal resulting in SIGNIFICANT savings. G. Thomas Mullany, DMD Great Barrington I have been using Don at Berkshire Merchant Services for approximately 8 years now. I cannot tell you how much he has helped me. I am what some may call “technology” challenged! Each and every time I have needed help Don was there for me. If he couldn’t help me solve the problem over the phone then he would drive down to my store to see me. This last visit he even installed a loaner machine until he resolved the issue. Also, I have a fantastic rate through Berkshire Merchant Services and would never think of changing.
