About Mark
Professional service starts with the person.
Mark Stendel is a Corpus Christi business professional whose work spans merchant services, business-network leadership and local ministry.
Relationships first
A local professional who stays involved.
Mark’s professional focus is helping business owners accept payments efficiently and confidently. Through Hawthorne Payments, he works with companies evaluating merchant accounts, point-of-sale platforms and processing options that must function reliably within real business operations.
His approach is consultative and personal. Instead of treating payment processing as a commodity, Mark looks at compatibility, operating needs, cost effectiveness and the support a business will need after the equipment is installed.
That same relationship-centered mindset carries into his work with BNI and his ministry at Venture Church Corpus Christi. Whether he is helping a business owner, encouraging a referral partner or serving his church, Mark’s goal is to listen, help and remain available.
At a glance
Three roles. One consistent approach.
A service philosophy
Well served means staying available.
Technology matters, pricing matters and compatibility matters—but service is what holds everything together. Mark’s professional identity is built around providing clear guidance and remaining accessible when a business owner needs an answer.
That is the idea behind Merchant Services. Well Served. It is not simply a slogan; it is the standard Mark brings to his work and community relationships.
