Get a glimpse of who we are and how we do.
our story
We have a long history of creating wins for our clients in the developer, business and nonprofit sectors. As developers, we hold our innovative, partnership mentality in high regard. As mid-sized business owners, we take efficiencies and customer service seriously. And, our philanthropic spirit leads us to believe that simplicity and hands-on support should come standard, especially in the charitable, camp and religious 501(c)(3) schools and organizations.
The PaymentSpring that lives today is a collaborative effort of two main entities, Nelnet and Firespring. For more than 30 years, Nelnet has helped students and families navigate the world of higher education. Firespring, who boasts a “force for good” mantra, has been supporting businesses and nonprofits for decades with all things print, creative, website and IT.
And here we are today, a developer-driven payments solutions company enabling software platforms and organizations to outperform the competition. In addition to providing the latest easy-to-use payment technology, the precedent we place on partnering with clients to grow their businesses or missions is unmatched.
our values
We’re a motley bunch of intelligent and caring team members who feed off the diversity each of us brings to the table. Our commonalities are also a source of strength, for each other and our clients. It’s an ethical fusion of transparency and individuality that holds us accountable across the board.
We bring truth.
Our integrity, instincts and experience make this a certainty. We realize that long-standing relationships are built on trust and must be earned. We hold ourselves to high expectations. We are honest with each other and our clients in all we do.
We shake things up.
What the heck is a laurel, and why would someone rest upon it? Working hard to reach a new plateau feels great. Hanging out there for too long makes us twitchy. What can we say, challenging ourselves and having a “be the change” mindset is just a part of our basic DNA. Being innovative is our favorite vice.
We've got heart.
It’s a mix of drive, gratitude and empathy—one of those blends that leaves a positive impression without begging for the spotlight. We choose to be here for each other and our clients—in the good times and the trying ones.
