Solveras Payment Solutions
Based in Franklin, Tennessee just outside of Nashville, Solveras is a sales and marketing organization dedicated to providing complete electronic payment solutions to independent businesses across the country. In 2000, our core team of people came together after years of successfully working together in the payment processing industry to form a unique company with a different approach to our business.
We are committed to straightforward, personal service in all that we do. We work with each individual business owner in a professional, consultative manner to find the right combination of payment services to meet the business' specific needs.

With all of the diverse payment applications, equipment, software, and processing scenarios available in the marketplace, we believe a one-to-one approach is the only way to find the best processing solution.
This consultative approach has helped us specialize in working with trade and professional associations.

Our experience and commitment to working with associations has earned us the exclusive endorsement of many nationally respected organizations.
