Ben Kauder

Ben Kauder is the Senior Vice President of Integrated Payments at Payment Data Systems. Ben has over 15 years of experience in the payments industry and has been with Payment Data Systems for over two years. Prior to joining Payment Data Systems, they were with Usio, Inc. for four years, where they led the Acquiring Line of business and was responsible for architecting the Payfac platform.

Ben is focused on finding business management software companies who have either 100+ merchants or 10MM+/month in sales by their downstream customer base who are looking to provide additional value, make their software stickier and generate meaningful incremental recurring revenue from their client base.

Under their leadership, the Payfac platform has grown 120% year over year and is now commercially deployed in a payments integration model. This allows the ISV to own the entire merchant experience and removes friction in payments acceptance and onboarding while greatly reducing liability to the ISV for providing this service.

Ben Kauder works with Vilmar Morgan - Director of Design, Wayne Gonzales - Senior Vice President, Risk Management & Compliance, and Ken Keller - Senior Vice President, Chief Technology Officer. Ben Kauder reports to Louis Hoch, Co-founder, Vice-Chairman, President, CEO & COO.
