The story

Datafi Payments Inc. is a small merchant services company (ISO/agent) that resells payment processing and adjacent services — including POS hardware (Clover), merchant cash advances, and payroll referrals — to small and mid-sized businesses. The company relies on upstream processor partnerships (First Data/Fiserv) rather than building proprietary infrastructure, and operates as a distributor within that ecosystem.
