All That We’ve Done, We’ve Done Together

We have so much to be proud of in our company’s history! Our countless accomplishments, accolades, and achievements were all won by working together, step-by-step, striving toward shared goals.

2000

Our CEO, Michael Nardy, was a college student at Boston College, where he met Matthew Findlan, now our COO. Seeing an expanding, yet underserved market of local entrepreneurs who frequently overpaid for merchant services, Michael knew there was an opportunity to help. It was at this time Electronic Payments and our mission were born—to provide small to medium-sized businesses with affordable payment processing and essential merchant services.

“The principles that guide me are those instilled by my grandfather and father, both entrepreneurs: You answer the phone. You call people back. You solve the problem.”

– Michael Nardy
