About Fluid Pay, LLC

Fluid Pay™ was founded in 2017 and has been a Level 1 PCI DSS Service Provider since 2019. The platform is a partner-only payment gateway built for ISOs, agent groups, ISVs, and software platforms across the United States.

Fluid Pay does not board merchants directly. Partners do. The platform exists to give those partners the gateway, vault, fraud controls, recurring billing, and terminal support they need to run a payments program on their own brand.

The non-compete is the only model we operate, and it has not changed since 2017.
