Our Company Culture
At Great American Payment Systems, our culture is built on relationships, integrity, and growth. For nearly 20 years, we’ve stayed true to our roots as a family-owned business, treating our clients, partners, and team members like part of the family.

Our team thrives on helping small and mid-sized businesses succeed, and we take pride in providing the kind of local, personalized service that larger companies can’t match. Whether it’s supporting our clients or supporting one another, we’re committed to doing the right thing — every time.
At GAPS, we don’t just process payments — we build lasting relationships and celebrate wins together.
