SpotOn Transact Review

We take our role in providing guidance and education regarding the card payment industry very seriously. At our own expense, we have vigorously defended our right to continue expose unethical and predatory practices in the industry, successfully defeating every attempt to silence us. However, fending off frivolous lawsuits is costly. To sustain these efforts, one of the ways we generate revenue is through affiliate partnerships with ethical providers. This means that some of our outgoing links connect business owners to trustworthy, low-cost payment processors, which is what most of our readers seek. We see this revenue channel as a win-win-win for everyone involved. Business owners find good processors, processors get good clients, and we are able to continue to provide a valuable service to the small business community. We also recommend and link to many services that do not compensate us. Our priority is to guide you to the best solutions for your needs, regardless of potential revenue. If you have questions, please feel free to contact us.

From The People Behind Central Payment Corporation

Founded in 2011, SpotOn Transact is a merchant account provider that serves most standard-risk business types with an emphasis on those in the restaurant and hospitality industries. The company is the latest venture from Matthew and Zachary Hyman, the co-founders of Central Payment Corporation (CPAY). CPAY was gradually acquired by TSYS from 2012 to 2017, and it appears that the Hymans made the permanent transition to SpotOn in the wake of CPAY's final acquisition phase.

Burgeoning Business Model Boasted by Outside Investment

As part of raising capital for its emerging business, SpotOn Transact closed a $50 million Series B financing deal with 01 Advisors. The investment firm was founded by former Twitter CEO Dick Costolo as well as other executives from the social media company including Adam Bain and David Rivinus. Investors from Dragoneer Investment Group, Franklin Templeton and EPIQ Capital Group also contributed to the Series B financing. This venture capital fundraising adds to SpotOn's revenue following a fiscal year in which it increased its revenue by 150%. With this investment at its disposal, SpotOn looks to enhance its stake in the POS and merchant account markets.
