Payment Processing, Inc. (PPI) is the industry leader in providing integrated payment processing solutions. Our close partnerships with software developers give us a unique perspective on the issues and opportunities associated with integrated payment processing for them, their resellers, and their customers. Payment Processing Incorporated was founded in March 1995 as a sister company to IC Verify with Chuck Smith, PPI's current Chairman and CEO, as General Manager. Chuck quickly became aware of the problems experienced by software developers and merchants as the developers struggled to integrate payment processing into their applications. He witnessed the lack of support for merchants, and the frustration they experienced as they were bounced from their bank to their software provider - and then back again - each time they sought technical help. It was clear that the solution was a combination of technology and service, and the market was ready for someone to step up to the challenge.
