The Start Of Central Payments.

Founded in 2014, Central Payments was a wholly-owned subsidiary of a bank. Since then, we have grown to a place of needing independence from a single financial institution.

In 2022, Central Payments raised growth capital to form a stand alone LLC. This has allowed us to expand and create opportunities for a two-sided marketplace - serving banks and brands.

Located in Sioux Falls, SD, we are obsessed with changing the game in embedded finance.

Central Payments has been recognized by many leading experts in the financial services space.
