CEO Brian P. Shanahan founded FTS in 2006 in response to the market needs he discovered while previously starting and growing four highly successful financial services companies. Brian saw an opportunity to develop a different kind of payment processing company - one that took a consultative, customer service-focused approach, partnering with clients to provide tailored, comprehensive technology solutions.

Since its inception, FTS has quickly grown to process billions in transactions annually for a diverse array of industries nationwide. Brian turned his strong relationships with the industry's most respected entities into partnerships for FTS, which allows us to negotiate the market's lowest processing rates for our clients. In 2010, FTS gained another key partner when we secured a significant investment from FTV Capital, a private equity firm with proven expertise in payments and transaction processing.
