Were on a mission to revolutionize financial services for managed service providers one transaction at a time. By combining cuttingedge payment technology with deep industry expertise, were building something special. If youre passionate about transforming how companies handle payments or building financial services for the future, youre in the right place. There is a critical gap in the market: offline, servicebased businesses do not have access to the same payment innovations that other industries enjoy. We have set out to change this. Today, were helping companies across North America streamline their payment processes, improve cash flow, and focus on what they do best serving their customers. Our customers report cutting their accounts receivable time in half and reducing outstanding payments by up to 95%, transforming how they operate their business. Our Values Our values shape how we work, make decisions, and show up for each other and our partners every day. Theyre the principles that keep us aligned and help us build the business we are excited to work for day in and day out. We communicate openly and truthfully with partners, investors, and each other so everyone understands where we stand and where were headed. We stay scrappy, find creative solutions, and make progress even when the path isnt obvious. We have a bias for action and seek out the information and resources necessary to make decisions and move quickly. Partnership We win and lose together. We collaborate with our partners, investors, and teammates to tackle big challenges and reach shared goals. Revolutionary & Boldness We challenge conventions, take calculated risks, and build better, stronger solutions that move our business and the industry forward. Accountability We take ownership of our decisions and results. We follow through on our commitments knowing our work directly impacts our partners, our team and our business.
