Our Story

We’re a people‑first payments partner. Our mission is simple: help modern merchants save money, simplify operations, and always reach a real person who knows their business.

Who We Are

At PayDriven, we’re not just about payments, we’re about people. We know what it’s like to pour your time, energy, and heart into a business, and we believe you deserve a partner who truly sees that. Every business deserves someone who understands their goals, listens when they have questions, and stands beside them every step of the way.

With roots in both Los Angeles and New York, we’ve spent years working alongside small business owners, hearing their stories, building relationships, and helping them keep more of what they earn. Whether you’re running a corner café, a retail shop, or an online brand, our job is simple: make payments feel easier, smarter, and a whole lot more human.

A Letter From Our Founder

Dear Business Owner,

For more than 15 years, I worked in the film and television industry, managing Locations in New York City, Los Angeles, and Hawaii. My job was to bring productions and local businesses together, sometimes that meant a small corner shop, other times a major corporation. No matter the size, I spent my days listening to owners, building relationships, and making sure they got what they needed.

What stayed with me wasn’t the cameras or red carpets, it was the people.

I saw how hard small business owners worked, how much they cared, and how often they struggled just to keep things going. And I’ll never forget the feeling of knowing that, even for a day, I could help them earn a little more by putting their shop or property on the map.

That same passion is what led me to start PayDriven. I know firsthand what it feels like when small businesses get overlooked, pushed aside, or confused by fees they don’t understand. And I believe you deserve better.

At PayDriven, you’ll never be just another account number. You’ll always have a real person who knows your business, listens when you have a question, and treats your success as our priority.
