Company Description

We believe the economy is better when everyone has access. When everyone has room to grow. No one should be left out because the cost is too great or the technology too complex. We started with a little white credit card reader but haven’t stopped there.

We’re here to help sellers of all sizes start, run, and grow their business—and helping them grow their business is good business for everyone.
