Our Philosophy
Our “Merchant First” philosophy provides the framework for all our decision making when customizing the best payment solution for our clients. We can, in fact, save merchants money where others cannot, offer value added products to help growth, and obtain processing for merchants who would otherwise be turned down.

Zachary Gottlieb
Owner/Operator Just as I had zero knowledge of what exactly "merchant services" is and how it works when I was first introduced to the industry 4 years ago, I still find, to this day, that a large majority of business owners do not understand how payment processing works, even in their own businesses! I love being able to wake up every day to educate and provide value to the local business community. After starting my business in Richmond, Virginia, I moved to St. Petersburg, Florida to continue learning about the exciting and rapidly evolving payment processing industry. I have experienced no greater joy than fostering relationships with over 100 business owners, helping them keep more of their hard-earned money and out of the hands of a greedy sales rep or processor. |
The Story
After graduating from The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2014, I did what all sensible young college graduates do and got a job at Enterprise Rent a Car. After a few years in a variety of customer service and sales roles in Charlotte, NC, I moved to Wilmington, NC to be near family. I spent a few years in the hospitality industry and found that my purpose and passion was for service. I absolutely love helping people, and I like to be where I can bring the most value. However, working in a variety of small businesses, I did learn that even though I loved service, I didn't really like having a boss.
A friend introduces me to merchant services, and I finally felt as if I had found my "calling." Instead of working for a small business owner, I could help them become more profitable and successful by becoming a payment processing expert. And then, just one month into a brand-new industry, the pandemic hit. The small business owner needed more help than ever, and I began hitting the streets in Richmond, Virginia and never looked back. In my first year, I successfully helped over 50 restaurants become more profitable and survive the pandemic by providing them with a commission-free online ordering system. I am proud to say that my first processing partner, Poe's Pub is still a client to this day since they signed up on March 29, 2020.
When I am not helping business owners eliminate their payment processing fees, you can find me spending time at one of the many beautiful beaches in the St. Petersburg area. I am also a member of the Pinellas Park Chamber of Commerce, the St. Petersburg Chamber of Commerce, the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Pinellas County, and the Kiwanis Club of Pinellas Park.
