Exectras Announces Exectras Payments, a New Venture in the Payment Processing Industry

By Payteva Editorial Team

Exectras Payments, a venture which brings together Payment Processing, Infrastructure, Technology and Distribution with Exectras Membership and 360HEALTH

SUGAR LAND, TX / ACCESS Newswire / September 14, 2026 / Exectras, Inc. today announced the full operation of Exectras Payments, a venture that brings together select assets, capabilities, infrastructure and industry experience of Exectras, Inc., Simpay, and PayCompass in a single enterprise. Exectras Payments will formally launch October 1, 2026, under the leadership of Joe Cherry, as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Managers.

Exectras Payments is the result of Mr. Cherry's vision which unites select infrastructure, technology, assets, and capabilities, of the three legacy organizations with complementary strengths into a shared vision: to build a new, differentiated Payment Processing and Merchant Services company serving merchants, independent sales organizations (ISOs), agents, independent software vendors (ISVs), financial institutions, associations and other strategic distribution channels. This unified strategy is unique and promises to bring new capabilities to the Payments Processing industry.

The legacy operations of Simpay Holdings, LLC, will contribute to its wholesale payments infrastructure, experienced operational support, direct sales capabilities and a long history of serving merchants with payment processing and business solutions to the new enterprise.

The legacy operations of PayCompass will contribute an established ISO channel, an agent-first distribution model and deep experience supporting independent sales professionals with the infrastructure, flexibility and economics needed to build and scale their businesses to the new enterprise.

As a result of Mr. Cherry's success with Exectras, Inc., Mr. Cherry now brings that leadership, experience with multiple financial resources, strategic support and industry leadership, to Exectras Payments, including expanding its membership roles and providing important value-added solutions, which are integral to the Exectras Payments value proposition.

Through Exectras Payments, merchants and distribution partners will have access to comprehensive Payment Processing and Technology as well as Exectras Membership featuring Exectras 360HEALTH. This unique offering will extend the merchant relationship beyond Payment Processing by delivering meaningful value to merchants, employees and families, including access to 24/7/365 virtual healthcare, prescription savings, employee wellness resources and complimentary life insurance benefits, subject to eligibility, availability and applicable program terms.

This unique offering furthermore enables Exectras Payments' partners to lead with Payment Processing, Memberships or both, creating additional ways for the partners to acquire merchants, deepen relationships, improve retention and generate incremental recurring revenue.

JOE CHERRY

"This is much more than a collaboration between select infrastructure, technology, assets and capabilities of three organizations," said Joe Cherry, CEO of Exectras and Exectras Payments. "We are drawing on proven Payment Processing infrastructure, experienced leadership, strong distribution capabilities and decades of industry experience with a value proposition that goes well beyond the transaction. With Exectras Membership and 360HEALTH integrated into our offering, our partners can deliver something fundamentally different to merchants, their employees and their families."

Exectras Payments will focus on direct merchant acquisition while providing scalable programs for ISOs, agents, ISVs, associations, financial institutions and other strategic partners thereby supporting multiple paths to growth.

Partners will be able to distribute traditional payment processing solutions, introduce Exectras Membership and 360HEALTH to existing merchant portfolios, or combine both offerings in a broader merchant relationship. This flexibility creates opportunities to monetize existing portfolios, differentiate merchant acquisition strategies and establish recurring revenue streams beyond traditional processing residuals.

"Our goal is not to build another traditional ISO," said Shawn Dalton, Chief of Staff of Exectras Payments. "We are building a new enterprise. Payments are the foundation, but our value proposition extends well beyond Payment Processing. By combining Payment Processing, Technology, Memberships, Healthcare and Wellness under one enterprise, we can help our partners win more merchants, create deeper relationships and capture more value throughout the customer lifecycle."

The establishment of Exectras Payments, a dedicated payments organization with the infrastructure, capital and differentiated solutions to pursue organic and strategic growth utilizing select assets and capabilities from Simpay and PayCompass and incorporating Exectras Membership and 360HEALTH into its distribution strategy, is the result of Mr. Cherry's vision for creating a new operational business within the payments industry.

Steve & the group over at Payteva are extremely ethical & hardworking. Anytime I've had a problem, the issue was resolved in minutes. There was no waiting for a foreign tele-service or long times on hold. Payteva provides a fair market rate. I'd highly recommend them for any CC processing or POS system needs.
