The story

Its core fintech arm, eVance, operates as a wholesale ISO providing merchant payment processing to over 10,300 SMBs across 130+ industries in all 50 US states. The company has expanded into cloud POS (OmniSoft), crowdfunding infrastructure (CrowdPay), and a PayFac service launched in 2025, while simultaneously operating a Bitcoin mining business (DMINT) it plans to spin off.
