InterPayments’ Values:

• Customers and mission first. The customer is at the heart of everything we do and we have an enormous obligation to help them. We align our company, team, and individual goals with customer outcomes and our mission. When making decisions and setting priorities, we always keep our customer’s perspective and our mission in mind.
• Always build trust. We focus on the long-term. We treat everyone - existing and prospective teammates, customers, partners, vendors, investors - as if we’ll know and work with them forever. We assume good intent and empathize. We’re always ethical, respectful, and honest. We are responsive, reliable, and trustworthy. We are loyal and committed to one another, our customers, and our mission. Nothing is transactional.
• Do the hard(er) thing. We reject complacency and embody a growth mindset because it’s more fulfilling. Being resilient, flexible, and adaptable is challenging. Seeking and delivering honest feedback is hard. Embracing open-mindedness, intellectual honesty, and respectful disagreement is tough. Being relentlessly curious, simplifying complexity, and thinking through 2nd/3rd order effects of decisions takes more work. Being highly responsive and making data-driven decisions requires more effort. We choose to do them anyway. We find reward in pushing ourselves and others beyond our comfort zones.
