Payzli Soars to Third Place on Tampa Bay's Fast 50 List, a Remarkable Climb from Last Year
In an impressive demonstration of growth and innovation, Payzli has propelled itself to the No. 3 position on the Tampa Bay Business Journal's Fast 50 list, a significant leap from No. 22 last year. This achievement marks the second consecutive year that Payzli has been recognized on this prestigious list, underscoring its commitment to excellence and expansion within the fast-paced payments technology sector.
The announcement was made during an event hosted by the Tampa Bay Business Journal on July 23, where Co-Founder and Chief Revenue Officer Naim Hamdar accepted the award on behalf of the dedicated Payzli team. Since its inception, Payzli has prioritized a partner-first approach, aiming to create an inclusive and high-performing network for merchants and agents alike.
At the heart of Payzli's growth strategy is a robust technology platform designed in-house, which consists of three main components: Payzli Connect, Payzli POS, and Payzli Transact. These offerings work synergistically to provide a comprehensive service tailored for a range of businesses.
Payzli Connect serves as a merchant and partner dashboard, delivering transparent daily residuals and operational insights that empower agents and independent sales organizations (ISOs). This transparency fosters trust and makes account management straightforward for merchants.
Payzli POS utilizes artificial intelligence to enhance the point-of-sale experience for service businesses such as salons, med spas, and wellness studios, ensuring they operate efficiently and effectively.
The third component, Payzli Transact, acts as an online payment gateway developed in collaboration with Visa Acceptance Solutions. This strategic alliance emphasizes Payzli’s credibility in the payments landscape, leveraging Visa's industry reputation and established infrastructure.
"A jump to No. 3 on this list is not indicative of a single high-performing quarter. It reflects a sustained commitment from our network of partners and merchants who have elected to grow with us," stated Naim Hamdar during the event, emphasizing the collaborative spirit that defines Payzli's growth journey. He further noted that their proprietary technology and transparency help to fulfill promises that often remain unkept across the industry.
Kapil Pershad, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer, humorously remarked that while Tampa Bay is known for its thunderstorms, the lightning speed at which Payzli has risen in stature certainly stands out. He credited the team and business partners who have supported Payzli's initiatives, stating, "Making the Fast 50 two years in a row feels rewarding and speaks to our dedication to transforming payment experiences for our clients."
The Tampa Bay Business Journal's Fast 50 ranks the fastest-growing private companies in the Tampa Bay area, and Payzli's ascent into the top three spot is indicative of its effective merchant-first product offerings and a rapidly expanding national partner network, especially as the payments and embedded finance industries evolve.
Founded in 2020 and headquartered in Tampa, Florida, Payzli is committed to making payment processing easier and more affordable for businesses of all sizes. Its offerings include in-person processing, advanced online gateways, AI-powered point-of-sale systems, along with mobile and contactless payment options, all backed by a transparent pricing model and dedicated human support. As Payzli continues to innovate and grow, it remains focused on enhancing the experience for its partners and merchant customers alike.
