Customer Testimonials

ALDI utilized Glenbrook partners in 2015-2016 on various electronic payments projects. From the first phone call with Allen, it was clear that this team knew everything there is to know about payments. Throughout the engagement, Glenbrook was thoughtful, backed up recommendations with industry best practices and knowledge, and more importantly kept our well-being at the forefront of every conversation!  

Involving Glenbrook for our electronic payments projects over the last year was a game changer. We would not be where we are at in the projects without the hard work and dedication of George and Bryan. They never missed a deadline and worked hard on our behalf to create a high-quality RFP that produced valuable insights, and in the end, saved us a lot of money!  

I would highly recommend Glenbrook’s services to anyone looking for a valued partner in the payments space. We also attended one of their Payments Boot Camps, which was invaluable in learning more about a very complex industry. All products and services we have received from Glenbrook have exceeded expectations.
