Sezzle is an alternative payment platform that increases sales and basket sizes by enabling interest-free installment plans at online stores

My goal in business is to leverage my interests in technology and business strategy and my skills in management, leadership, business strategy and technological development to create great companies.These interests have led to where I am today.I founded Sezzle in 2016 because of the pain I felt as a merchant in taking online payments. The expensive cost of credit and debit card processing and the painful implementation process caused my first company an inordinate amount of troubles and work. At Sezzle our goal is to reinvent merchant processing. We believe that recent technological enhancements have allowed for a shift in online processing. Consumers are now able to authenticate directly with their bank to enable bank-to-bank payments in e-Commerce checkouts. This cardless trend will only continue as time passes and technology improves. We want Sezzle to be on the forefront of this movement.At Sezzle we'll be doing our best to make it easy and pain-free for merchants to accept this new bank-to-bank payment method and improve their payment processing experience.
