Verisave
Jeremy Layton started Verisave back in 2001 with the service of identifying and collecting overpayments made by their customers to their suppliers. In 2010 Jeremy noticed that most of his customers were paying a lot of money to process credit card payments. After digging a little deeper, he found that most of his customers were actually paying much more than they needed to and Jeremy was determined to help them reduce these fees. Over the past 7 years Jeremy has become an expert in all things relating to the credit card processing industry. In fact, last year alone Verisave saved its customers over $5.3 million on credit card processing fees.
