Payments built for Businesses that deserve better.
PayRio is a payments company built for cannabis, CBD, high-risk, and emerging industries. We combine modern payment technology with hands-on support to help businesses navigate a financial landscape that was not designed with them in mind.
A payments partner, not just another processor.
We started PayRio because too many legitimate businesses were being underserved by traditional financial institutions. Complex industries need more than a one-size-fits-all payment product.
Our approach is simple: understand the business, build the right payment stack around it, communicate clearly, and stay involved after the account goes live.
Built from day one to serve industries traditional payments companies often overlook.
The values behind how we work.
Payments can be complicated. Working with your payments partner should not be.
Transparency
Clear pricing, clear communication, and realistic expectations from the beginning.
Partnership
We stay involved. Our clients get real people, real support, and a team invested in the long-term relationship.
Innovation
Emerging industries need modern payment options. We continue building and sourcing solutions as the market evolves.
Advocacy
We believe legitimate businesses deserve access to better financial infrastructure, regardless of how complicated their industry may be.
Built by payments people.
PayRio was founded by fintech veteran Aubrey Amatelli with a simple belief: businesses operating in complex and underserved markets should not have to settle for second-rate payment infrastructure.
That perspective continues to shape how PayRio builds products, supports merchants, and advocates for the industries we serve.
