The story

Payzli is a US-based embedded payments infrastructure provider targeting ISVs and SaaS platforms. It built Payzli Transact, a white-label payment gateway powered by Visa Platform Connect, enabling software companies to embed payment acceptance without building their own processing stack. The company's go-to-market centres on ISV enablement and reseller channels, positioning it as a payments-as-a-service layer for vertical software businesses. Its banking relationships with Esquire Bank and Commercial Bank of California reflect a sponsor-bank model for card acquiring.
