The story
Founded in 2017 in Austin, Corvia operates as a full-service provider (FSP) in the merchant acquiring space, serving SMBs and high-risk merchants through ISO/agent and ISV channels. The company built proprietary cloud-based infrastructure for payments, analytics, and risk management rather than relying on a single gateway vendor. Its embedded finance footprint centers on payment acceptance (POS, ecommerce, virtual terminal, ACH) layered with residual management and business intelligence tools distributed via an ISO/ISV partner network.
