Eligible lenders will be able to select PSQ Payments for card, ACH, RTP, FedNow, and Push to Card processing directly within their existing loan management systems.

Integration Makes PSQ Payments Available to Lenders on LendSuite Platforms

PSQ Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: PSQH), operating as PublicSquare, announced an integration with LendSuite Software that will make PSQ Payments available as a payment-processing option for nearly 150 lenders within LendSuite’s ecosystem.

The integration covers LendSuite’s three lending technology platforms:

  • Infinity Software
  • Tekambi
  • EPIC Loan Systems

Lenders using these platforms will be able to select PSQ Payments for several payment methods directly within the loan management environments they already use.

Supported processing capabilities include:

  • Card processing
  • ACH processing
  • Real-Time Payments (RTP)
  • FedNow
  • Push to Card

PSQ Payments will also be listed within LendSuite’s Premier Marketplace for Lenders, where lenders can evaluate and select their preferred processing provider.

Distribution through an installed base

The LendSuite integration introduces a distribution model for PSQ Payments based on an existing software ecosystem rather than relying exclusively on direct merchant acquisition.

Historically, PublicSquare said direct sales have been an important source of merchant acquisition for PSQ Payments. Through the new relationship, lenders using LendSuite platforms can access PSQ Payments through the software infrastructure already embedded in their operations.

The integration is designed to allow participating lenders to access the payment-processing option without requiring:

  • A new gateway
  • Changes to servicing software
  • A separate deployment process
  • Separate gateway agreements

The arrangement also places PSQ Payments within the operational environment where lenders manage their loan portfolios and evaluate available processing options.

Dusty Wunderlich, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of PublicSquare, said:

“Consumer lenders deserve genuine choices when selecting the processing partners that power their daily operations.”

Wunderlich also said the integration allows PublicSquare to reach lenders across LendSuite’s platforms through a single software relationship rather than selling to individual merchants separately.

He added:

“We are actively seeking additional strategic partnerships like this.”

Michael Morales, Director of Business Development at LendSuite Software, said:

“Lenders on our platform require reliable, flexible processing options that hold up under the daily operational demands of servicing a loan portfolio.”

Morales said the native integration is intended to simplify the process of evaluating payment solutions by reducing technical implementation requirements.

Underwriting consumer lenders

PublicSquare positioned the integration within its broader focus on consumer lenders and other regulated sectors.

The company stated that consumer lenders can encounter challenges when seeking or maintaining payment-processing relationships, with processor decisions sometimes influenced by broad industry classifications rather than an individual lender’s compliance history or loss record.

PSQ Payments said its underwriting capabilities are designed to support regulated industries, with risk management and compliance functions forming part of its operating model.

PublicSquare also operates the Credova consumer financing platform, giving the company experience operating under the same regulatory framework applicable to the clients it supports, according to the announcement.

Availability

The PSQ Payments and LendSuite integration is scheduled to go live in September 2026.

Once available, lenders operating on Infinity Software, Tekambi, or EPIC Loan Systems will be able to select PSQ Payments for the supported payment-processing services through their existing LendSuite environment.

Forward-Looking Statements

This announcement contains forward-looking statements under the safe-harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements include expectations concerning the integration, its anticipated availability across LendSuite platforms, potential effects on PublicSquare’s merchant acquisition process and acquisition costs, and expectations regarding additional software integration relationships.

Forward-looking statements may be identified through terms including “expect,” “will,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “could,” and “designed to”, among similar expressions.

The company identified a range of factors that could cause actual outcomes to differ from current expectations, including:

  • The integration not being completed on the anticipated timeline, across all platforms, or at all.
  • Lenders not selecting PSQ Payments, or selecting it at volumes below expectations.
  • Competition from other processors available through LendSuite’s ecosystem.
  • Processing volumes, revenue, or margins differing materially from expectations.
  • Modification or termination of the arrangement by either party.
  • Changes in federal or state laws, regulations, or enforcement priorities affecting consumer lending.

  • PublicSquare’s underwriting, risk, or compliance experience differing from expectations.
  • Other risks described in PublicSquare’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

The company stated that the list of factors is not exhaustive. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made, and recipients are cautioned against placing undue reliance on them. PublicSquare does not assume an obligation to update or revise such statements except where required by law and provides no assurance that its expectations will be achieved.
