The story

Founded in 2013 as ACME Technologies, an omnichannel visitation platform for cultural institutions and tourist attractions, the company pivoted to focus on payments infrastructure specifically tailored to the ticketing, reservations, and events vertical. ACME Payments now positions itself as a comprehensive payments provider offering PCI-compliant integrations across in-store, mobile, and online channels with Ingenico-certified hardware. The company was acquired/merged and now operates as a subsidiary of Peek Travel.
