What happens when you build a payment processor focused on extraordinary customer service and cutting-edge technology? You become the ETA 2025 ISO of the Year. Jared Ronski, co-founder and President of Payarc, reveals the journey from small startup to industry award-winner in this engaging conversation.

Ronski shares Payarc's origin story, which began with a friendship between himself—then a payment agent—and entrepreneur Zach Martinez. Frustrated by how larger processors often sacrificed service as they scaled, the duo created Payarc with a clear mission: do everything better while putting customers first. This philosophy, known as "the Payarc Way," prioritizes meaningful relationships over transactional interactions.

Technology serves as Payarc's second pillar of success. Their team is developing practical AI applications that address real industry challenges, including merchant churn prediction, risk assessment tools, and self-service capabilities for agents. By focusing on reducing friction in the payment process, they've created seamless experiences that partners rave about—including ISV integrations described as "one of the easiest" their partners have ever conducted.
