Our Philosophy

We believe every legitimate business deserves access to reliable, transparent, and fair payment processing—regardless of industry classification. Cannabis, CBD, and alternative wellness businesses face unique challenges, and our services are intentionally designed to meet those challenges head-on.

Our philosophy is customer-first and compliance-driven. We combine personalized support with modern payment technology to deliver flexible processing options, including credit cards, debit cards, and zero-cost processing models. By removing unnecessary restrictions and leveraging efficient systems, we help our clients reduce costs, improve cash flow, and focus on growth.

Our Values

PayRio is more than a payment processor—we are a long-term partner invested in our clients’ success. Founded by fintech veteran Aubrey Amatelli, the company is built on a deep understanding of payments, risk, and the needs of underserved markets. Her leadership ensures PayRio remains innovative, responsive, and aligned with the realities of regulated industries.

We are committed to empowering our clients, supporting responsible industry growth, and setting a higher standard for payments in emerging markets. That commitment defines how we operate, how we serve, and how we build lasting partnerships.
