The Vision and Story of Aces Payments

Updated: Feb 19


At Aces Payments, our mission is simple yet powerful: ensuring peace of mind in every payment. By prioritizing people over profits, we’re transforming the payments industry and setting a new standard for merchants and sales professionals alike.


This article will explore how Aces Payments, founded by industry veteran Dave O’Day, is addressing common pain points in the financial services sector and providing innovative solutions that empower success.



The Founding of ACES Payments


Aces Payments was founded by Dave O’Day, a payment solutions industry leader with nearly two decades of experience. From starting in outside sales in 2007 to achieving Hall of Fame recognition, Dave built his career on a foundation of integrity, innovation, and advocacy for sales professionals.


While leading sales teams at major corporations, Dave encountered a recurring issue: companies prioritizing short-term profits over long-term relationships. When businesses sold out, sales reps faced devastating changes to compensation structures, portfolio ownership, and retirement plans.


Frustrated by this trend, Dave envisioned a better way. He founded Aces Payments as a privately owned and self-funded company, ensuring autonomy to deliver on its promises without external pressures.






What Sets ACES Payments Apart?


1. Full Portfolio Ownership and Vested Status

Sales professionals at Aces enjoy unparalleled stability. Unlike other companies, Aces guarantees:


  • Full portfolio ownership

  • Ongoing vested residuals, even after retirement or departure in good standing

  • A commitment to never force a buyout


This model provides security and enables sales reps to build a legacy of their own—just as Dave O’Day did when he built his wealth in the payments industry.


2. Dedicated Concierge Support


Our Concierge Support Department is a game-changer. We handle operations, escalations, and troubleshooting, freeing sales professionals to focus on building relationships and growing their portfolios.


Key features of Aces Concierge Support include:


  • Swift, proactive issue resolution

  • Personalized solutions for unique merchant challenges

  • Protecting sales reps’ time and bottom line


This hands-on approach enhances merchant satisfaction and retention, providing peace of mind for sales teams and ensuring long-term success.


3. A People-First Culture


At Aces, every idea, voice, and suggestion matters. Sales is a competitive field, but we foster an environment of collaboration and camaraderie. By encouraging open communication and mutual support, we empower sales professionals to thrive together as a team.


Solving Common Pain Points in the Payments Industry


The financial services sector often leaves sales reps feeling undervalued and unsupported. Here’s how Aces Payments is addressing these industry-wide challenges:


  • Eliminating Broken Promises: We honor commitments, ensuring compensation and portfolio structures remain stable.

  • Advocating for Sales Teams: Our leadership comes from within the industry, ensuring decisions are made with sales reps’ best interests at heart.

  • Long-Term Success: With no external shareholders or corporate buyouts, Aces provides a foundation for lasting prosperity.
