Built by someone who's seen payments from every angle.
Seven7 Pay was founded by Brian Hanko after more than 25 years in banking, merchant acquiring and sales leadership, to be the payments partner he always wished business owners had.
Why I'm starting Seven7 Pay.
Twenty-five years on every side of payments
I've built my career in financial services, merchant acquiring, business development and sales leadership, with organizations including KeyBank, Huntington, Worldpay, First Data/Fiserv, NewtekOne and Easy Pay Direct. I've seen this industry from nearly every angle.
From the front line to the leadership team
I started out selling directly to business owners. Over time I went on to build and lead sales organizations, develop strategic partnerships, manage revenue growth and help businesses put the right payment solutions in place. Along the way I learned what makes a sales organization succeed, and what makes one fail.
What the industry gets wrong
Too many payment companies focus on signing accounts, pushing equipment and maximizing margins instead of understanding the businesses they serve. I've watched merchants struggle with confusing pricing, poor customer service, technology they didn't need, and relationships that disappeared the moment the contract was signed.
Business owners deserve a true partner
My greatest satisfaction has never come from simply closing a deal. It comes from helping an owner reduce expenses, improve cash flow, adopt better technology and grow their company. Payment processing should be a strategic part of running a successful business, not just another monthly expense.
Building something of my own
After decades of helping major financial institutions and payment companies grow, it's time to build something of my own. Seven7 Pay brings together my industry knowledge, relationships, leadership experience and entrepreneurial drive in a company built on transparency, accountability, personal service and long-term partnerships.
"I don't want to build just another payment processing company. I want to build the company I wish every business owner had access to."
Brian Hanko, Founder
Four commitments behind every relationship.
Transparency
Pricing you can read and understand, explained before you sign. If anything changes, you hear it from us first.
Accountability
We own the outcome. When something goes wrong, we pick up the phone and fix it instead of pointing to the fine print.
Personal service
You work with people who know your business by name, not a ticket queue or a call-center script.
Long-term partnership
Our job doesn't end when the contract is signed. We keep looking for ways to lower your costs, improve cash flow and help you grow.
