PublicSquare taps LendSuite for PSQ Payments access

PublicSquare has integrated PSQ Payments with LendSuite Software's lending platforms, making the payment service available to nearly 150 lenders in LendSuite's network.

Lenders using Infinity Software, Tekambi, and EPIC Loan Systems can select PSQ Payments within the loan management systems they already use. The service supports card payments, ACH, RTP, FedNow and Push to Card processing.

PSQ Payments will be listed in LendSuite's Premier Marketplace as one of several payment processors available through the software group's ecosystem. That gives PublicSquare access to an installed base of lenders rather than relying solely on direct merchant sales.

The arrangement means lenders do not need to negotiate separate gateway agreements or switch servicing software to use the payment service, according to the companies. Instead, the option will appear within the systems they already use for loan servicing and management.

PublicSquare said PSQ Payments has historically acquired merchants through direct sales. By integrating with LendSuite, the company is seeking broader distribution through software lenders already use in daily operations.

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Dusty Wunderlich said PublicSquare built the service for lenders that often struggle to maintain payment processing relationships.

"Consumer lenders deserve genuine choices when selecting the processing partners that power their daily operations. Far too often, these lenders lose critical processing relationships for reasons unrelated to their compliance records or loss rates. We designed our platform specifically to welcome and support businesses that other processors label as exceptions or find challenging to underwrite," Wunderlich said.

He added that the tie-up gives PublicSquare access to multiple lenders through a single technical connection.

"By enabling an integration once, we instantly gain exposure to every lender across all LendSuite platforms, a far more efficient approach for our team than selling to merchants individually. Lenders using any LendSuite system can activate our services directly within their existing setup without negotiating separate gateway agreements or switching servicing software. We are actively seeking additional strategic partnerships like this," he said.

Sector focus

The companies framed the integration around a longstanding issue in consumer lending: some lenders struggle to secure or retain payment processing services even when their compliance records or loss performance are not the cause. PublicSquare said broad industry classifications often drive those decisions.

That focus reflects PublicSquare's broader position in regulated financial activity. The company said PSQ Payments specialises in underwriting regulated sectors and pointed to its operation of the Credova consumer financing platform as evidence of experience under the same regulatory framework faced by the lenders it serves.

LendSuite said adding PSQ Payments gives merchants on its systems another built-in processing option. Its software spans loan origination, servicing and lead management, and the company said lenders need flexibility in the payment providers available to them.

"Lenders on our platform require reliable, flexible processing options that hold up under the daily operational demands of servicing a loan portfolio," said Michael Morales, Director of Business Development, LendSuite Software.

"Integrating PSQ Payments was a logical step to deliver seamless choices to our merchants. By establishing this native integration, evaluating payment solutions becomes a straightforward business decision around pricing and services rather than a complex, drawn-out technical implementation," Morales said.

Installed base

LendSuite said its ecosystem includes nearly 150 lenders and draws on more than 40 years of combined industry experience across Infinity Software, Tekambi and EPIC Loan Systems. For PublicSquare, access to that network offers a different distribution route in a market where lenders often choose services within the software they already use.

The integration is due to go live in September 2026. Once active, PSQ Payments will sit alongside other processors in LendSuite's marketplace, allowing lenders to compare providers on commercial terms and service without a separate technical deployment.
