Why we exist

Unveiling
the invisible

Jeremy Lessaris, Founder and CEO of VeriFee
Jeremy Lessaris
Founder & CEO

I've always had a passion for entrepreneurship and the people who build businesses. Having spent much of my career starting and growing companies, I've seen firsthand how easy it is for costs and inefficiencies to go unnoticed. As businesses scale, attention naturally shifts toward growth, customers, and day-to-day operations. Meanwhile, expenses quietly add up, and sometimes even a percentage point or two can make a meaningful difference in profitability and competitiveness.

That realization is what led me to start VeriFee. We began by tackling the complexities and lack of transparency in credit card processing, but quickly recognized that the opportunity was much bigger. Today, our vision is to leverage AI, advanced technology, and human expertise to uncover inefficiencies, reduce unnecessary expenses, and help businesses build stronger, more productive relationships with their vendors. At its core, VeriFee was built on a simple belief: business owners deserve someone looking out for their bottom line, so they can spend more time focused on what they do best, building and growing their businesses.

What we stand for

Four values,
no exceptions

The same four words appear in how we hire, how we price and how we talk to processors.

01

Unbiased

Unplugging existing processors is a logistical nightmare for most companies. We make a big difference, without disruption.

02

Dedicated

We're a bank-fighting hero, negotiating lower fees on our clients' behalf and minimizing predatory profit margins.

03

Ethical

Behind the tech, we're a team of humans who care deeply about championing better payment practices.

04

Insightful

We provide detailed breakdowns, comparisons and reports that educate, instil confidence and build trust.
