Who we are
Founded in 2014 in Cambridge, MA, we are software engineers, hardware engineers, and analysts who came together to make a credit card processing company that merchants actually liked working with.
Our team also includes merchants who joined forces with engineers to protect other business owners from bait and switches, hidden fees, and runarounds that have become the norm in credit card processing.
We started as complete outsiders to the processing world because we believe that our “heavy on the technical and light on the fluff” approach is so much better for merchants. If you work with us, we hope you will agree.
