History & Purpose
REPAY was founded in 2006 by John Morris and Shaler Alias with the goal of providing fast, frictionless, and fail-safe integrated payment processing solutions for consumers and businesses. Morris serves as REPAY’s CEO to this day, and Alias co-leads as president from the company’s headquarters in Atlanta.
REPAY’s mission encompasses providing highly integrated payment technology, automating and digitizing transactions with vendors and suppliers, as well as ensuring convenient, secure bill payment solutions for both consumers and businesses. With seamless integrations into various ERPs and customer management systems, REPAY serves as a network to all payment networks, enabling businesses to virtually accept omni-channel payments 24/7 and streamline and automate vendor and supplier payments. Its proprietary platform ensures on-time, optimized inbound and outbound payments to help businesses save time and money through efficient, transparent processes.
REPAY’s payment acceptance solutions enable businesses to accept payments via any payment modality, including card, ACH, digital wallets or eCash and through any channel, including online, IVR, text or mobile. Empowered by these digital payment experiences, consumers can make payments when and where it is most convenient for them.
As a one-stop shop for B2B payments, REPAY enables businesses to accept payments from their customers and make payments to vendors and suppliers in a simple, secure way through various digital payment methods, including virtual cards. Automating and digitizing vendor payments across REPAY’s network of 260,000+ suppliers can eliminate paper checks, optimize internal workflows, maximize efficiency, and reduce costs for businesses.
