Profile
Sells full-service merchant acquiring, AP automation and embedded treasury services through Merchant Solutions, Payables and Treasury Solutions. The business evolved from a Georgia payment processor into a connected-commerce platform, with founder-led control, acquisition-built product breadth and dependence on payment networks, software partners and regulated money movement.
Combines full-service merchant acquiring, AP/payables automation and embedded treasury services in a connected-commerce platform. Merchant Solutions handles card acceptance and payment-enabled tools for B2C sellers through ISO, direct-sales and ISV channels; Payables supports bill payment and working-capital workflows; Treasury Solutions adds embedded finance and account-balance infrastructure for software partners and legacy platforms.
Grew from a Georgia payment processor into a broader payments-and-banking fintech through Finxera, Plastiq, Rollfi and channel-focused asset purchases. The current platform is anchored in the U.S. merchant-acquiring market while serving business customers through software partners and financial-institution channels.
Operates under founder-led control, with Chairman and CEO Thomas C. Priore holding majority share ownership and leading a preliminary take-private proposal. The model depends on merchant acquiring relationships, AP automation adoption, embedded-finance partners and regulated money movement.
