Helping Canadian businesses get paid and grow

Trusted by over 38,000 businesses
to process over $10 billion annually.

Whether it’s seamless payments, automated customer engagement, or reputation marketing, we help businesses like yours turn everyday transactions into meaningful customer relationships and long-term growth.

Or, as we like to call it, “customer-driven growth”!

Our journey from startup to industry leader

We started with a simple idea: give businesses a better way to accept payments. Fast-forward to today, and we’re
helping businesses across Canada increase revenue, improve customer loyalty, and grow their brands.
