The story
Founded in 2001 in Toronto (as BonaSource) and launched WildApricot in 2006, the company built a dominant membership-management SaaS for small nonprofits, associations, chambers, and clubs. Acquired by Personify (later Momentive Software), WildApricot has increasingly integrated into the Personify product family — including migrating its native payment brand from 'WildApricot Payments' to 'Personify Payments' powered by AffiniPay. The strategic direction is deeper embedded payments monetization for member-based organizations rather than broader financial services.
