Agreement Enables SpotOn to Provide a
Best-in-Class Customer Experience
SpotOn Transact, LLC (“SpotOn”), an innovative payments and
software company, today announced they recently extended their
partnership with TSYS (NYSE: TSS) in a multi-year, exclusive
agreement, which will enable SpotOn to expand payments capabilities
to merchants and go deeper in the small- and medium-sized business
(SMB) space. The agreement enables SpotOn to have more direct
relationships with clients, which will result in improved
onboarding and support for those merchants and an infinitely better
customer experience.
This announcement comes on the heels of a $40 million investment
led by Franklin Templeton and Dragoneer Investment Group and is
another proof point of the company’s rapid growth.
SpotOn was founded in 2017 by Matt and Zach Hyman, along with
Doron Friedman. They built the company on the premise that SMBs are
the hallmark of the American economy, comprising 99.7% of
businesses in the U.S., and yet they have been left underserved by
FinTech companies. SpotOn integrates best-in-class payments
capabilities with its software solutions to give businesses an
unparalleled set of tools.
“Having each spent 20 years in the space, Matt and I firmly
believe that TSYS is the perfect partner to help scale our
business,” said Co-Founder Zach Hyman. “We’ve done business with
TSYS for more than 10 years and are thrilled to continue and
strengthen that relationship.”
Prior to founding SpotOn, Matt and Zach founded and led San
Rafael-based Central Payment. They went on to form a joint venture
with TSYS in 2012 and ultimately sold the company to TSYS in
2018.
“TSYS shares in the vision that Merchant Services has to
continue to expand beyond just payment processing,” said President
and EVP of TSYS Merchant Solutions, Mike Peters. “Matt and Zach
have a proven track-record of being able to successfully scale
businesses, and we are extremely excited to continue our
partnership with SpotOn and support their continued growth.”
The expanded partnership with TSYS is next in the line of a
number of recent accomplishments for SpotOn. In addition to the
aforementioned fundraise, the company has doubled both its sales
and support staff over the last 12 months, acquired EmaginePOS to
create a best-in-class restaurant POS offering, purchased Lifeyo to
offer customized websites, rolled out a number of new product
releases and made key hires for its management team.
SpotOn is headquartered in San Francisco with expanding product
and technology teams in Chicago and operations in Detroit. The
company currently has more than 550 employees, including 350 field
sales representatives, across the organization.
