With early beginnings as a software company and recognized as one of the fastest-growing payment organizations in North America, Stax provides frictionless payment experiences to more than 30,000 businesses. We continue to invest in new technologies as part of our ongoing commitment to differentiate ourselves as a full end-to-end processor.
At Stax, we’re dedicated to operating differently in an ever evolving digital economy. We strive to provide the platforms and businesses we serve with the fastest path to growth through the power of embedded payments, ensuring they are prepared to not only adapt but thrive in a rapidly changing landscape.
Founded in Orlando, Florida in 2014, Stax set out to solve a specific problem: the hidden fees and opaque pricing traditional payment processors relied on. We were the first subscription-based payment processor for small and medium-sized businesses, and that transparent model still shapes how we operate today.
The values that drive us
The way we operate sets us apart in the market. At Stax, we’re guided by shared values that shape how we work, how we collaborate, and how we deliver every day.
We lead with integrity
We operate with transparency and do the right thing, every time. Integrity is the standard by which we make decisions, and it’s the foundation of the trust we build with our team, our customers, and our partners.
We win together
Diverse perspectives and genuine collaboration are what make us better. We respect every voice, leverage each other’s strengths, and understand that our collective output as one team consistently exceeds what any individual can achieve.
We obsess over customer success
We are focused on delivering tangible value at every touchpoint. By leveraging AI and a culture of continuous innovation, we raise the bar on customer experience and set a higher standard for what great looks like in FinTech.
We own our outcomes
We hold ourselves accountable to results, not just intentions. Across our team, our customers, and our investors, we set clear goals, execute with discipline, and measure our success by the outcomes we deliver.
