About Us
We're on the small business owner's side
With over 25 years in the payments industry, Jack Blair founded ValuPayments in 2012 to give small business owners transparent pricing, real support, and a processor that's actually on their side.
Our story
Our story
Jack Blair got his start in the payments industry in 1999. After more than a decade working in the field and seeing firsthand how small businesses were being overcharged and underserved, he decided to take matters into his own hands — founding ValuPayments in 2012.
The mission was simple: build a payments company that treats small business owners the way they deserve to be treated. Transparent pricing. Real support. No surprises.
What we stand for
Our values
Radical transparency
Every fee, every rate, every charge — explained in plain English. No fine print, no surprises on your statement.
Small business first
We don't have enterprise clients. Every decision we make is optimized for the small business owner, not a Fortune 500 company.
Real human support
When you call us, a real person answers. No phone trees, no overseas call centers, no chatbots for billing questions.
Earn your business every month
No contracts, no cancellation fees. We have to be good enough every single month to keep your business. That keeps us honest.
