About Fred Bernhardt

I have had diverse experience in many facets of financial services over the past 35 years. I enjoy helping my clients achieve their goals and being an advisor in my field of expertise. New business development has been a large part of my responsibilities. I help people affordably set up their Living Trusts through a business called Sword & Shield Estate Planning. I’m also a mobile Notary and Santa for Hire! I\'m also a sports writer for Southern Utah Living Magazine, doing a monthly article called \"The FAN\".Big supporter of athletics at my 2 alma maters - Stanford & BYU. I created the Sons of Sitake t-shirt in honor of current Head Football Coach Kalani Sitake. In my position at Mountain Star Payment Processing, I work closely with CEO Troy Zentner and EVP Marty Haws, inviting potential clients to have a unique customer service experience that is unmatched in the payment processing industry today. Once trained on our software, you will have an account manager that actually calls you and keeps in touch. No 800 number in a foreign country. We are one of only a few partners with VISA Intl. Our first-to-market Business Intelligence (BI) software technology is geared specifically toward real time account reconciliation and REVENUE RECOVERY within the payment processing sector. Depending on their level of e-commerce/card processing, our clients are collecting $M’s, even $MM’s in unpaid revenues, all due to the errors made throughout the payment processing system. We help you identify it and show you how to collect it. Having this additional top line revenue can fund continued growth or other strategic initiatives for the business. Our data gathering technology provides for real time reconciliation and automated accounting using GAAP principles to make this task much easier. Your card processing data is now organized in such a way that it can reveal ways to be better at getting more authorizations, fixing declines and correcting the up to 55 processing errors we have discovered that can occur on any specific card transaction. System optimization, fulfillment tracking, fraud prevention and revenue tracking are all possible with our Model. WE GUARANTEE THAT WE WILL FIND YOU MORE REVENUE BY USING OUR TECHNOLOGY AND INDUSTRY LEADING PAYMENT PROCESSING CAPABILITIES FOR EVEN BETTER RESULTS. CONTACT ME FOR A TEST RUN!
