This spans both business to consumer, such as retailers and restaurants, and also business to business relationships. We understand the ever-changing payments industry and offer our customers current, customized solutions to fit their business needs. Serving thousands of merchants of across the country, our top priority is always customer satisfaction. We implement our core values of integrity, transparency and teamwork into every relationship we build. We know that the payments industry isn’t always customer-focused. We’re here to change that. Our owners, John Lewis and Dee Lovelace, are award-winning payments industry veterans with a passion for bringing integrity and transparency to payments processing. While a student at The University of Mississippi, John co-founded a company that expanded into a national credit card merchant services company exclusively serving banks. Dee worked alongside John as Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer of the company for eleven years. They formed bank partnerships with bank branch locations in 32 U.S. states and were listed in the Inc. 500 “List of America’s Fastest-Growing Companies.” In 2015, the lifelong friends came together to form Ironwood with a goal of creating a trustworthy, customer-focused credit card processing company. Today, we serve merchants in a variety of different industries, giving them a partner they can rely on throughout the life of their business.
