Our History

Founded in 2005 in Georgia as Priority Payment Systems, Priority began as a payments processor. Over the years, we strategically expanded our offerings and footprint:

We entered the commercial payments space in 2008 and launched Vortex Cloud in 2012 to bolster our technology capabilities. In 2015, we expanded through the acquisition of American Credit Card Processing Corp. We initially went public in 2018 on the NASDAQ under the ticker PRTH and in 2021, we acquired Finxera — now operating as CFTPay — to enhance our banking-as-a-service offerings. This was followed by the 2023 acquisition of Plastiq, which broadened our reach in B2B payments and spend management.

Today, we serve 1.2 million customers, manage $1.2 billion in account balances, and process over $130 billion in transactions annually, solidifying our role as a major player in integrated payments and financial technology.
