Hey there, we're Paystone. We believe that getting paid should be effortless. But we also know that great businesses don't just process payments; they grow through them. That's why our solutions go beyond simple transactions to help you attract, retain, and engage your customers. We started with a simple idea in London, Ontario: to give businesses a better way to accept payments. Today, we've grown into one of Canada's leading payment processors, trusted by over 38,000 business locations that process over $10 billion annually. Whether it's providing seamless payment processing, automating customer engagement, or enhancing your reputation marketing, we're here to help you turn everyday transactions into meaningful customer relationships and long-term growth. We call it 'customer-driven growth,' and it's at the heart of everything we do.
Our journey from a startup to an industry leader has been an exciting one. We were founded in 2009 with a vision to revolutionize payment processing. Back then, we were known as Zomaron, and our mission was to help businesses thrive with seamless payment solutions. Over the years, we've hit some incredible milestones. We were among the first in Canada to introduce contactless NFC transactions, making payments faster and more secure. A defining moment for us was surpassing $1 billion in gross merchant volume, which reinforced our commitment to helping businesses grow. We've also been recognized for our rapid growth, ranking on the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 and the Deloitte Technology Fast 500. Through strategic acquisitions, like those of Canadian Payment Services and Ackroo, we've expanded our reach and capabilities, now serving tens of thousands of locations across North America. We're not just a payments company; we're a growth partner for businesses of all sizes, providing the tools and technology to build a better future.
