FT3 Partners was founded by payments veterans who spent 20+ years building acquiring relationships, navigating compliance, and helping businesses cross borders. We created FT3 because we knew there was a better way — one where businesses get a genuine partner, not just a service provider.
Global expansion is the most exciting growth move a business can make — and one of the most complex. Entity formation, banking access, payment acquiring, compliance, currency management. Each barrier can delay a business by months or kill momentum entirely.
FT3 was built to solve all of it from a single relationship. We're not a payments company that bolted on market-entry services. We're a global commerce partner — designed from day one to serve businesses that want to move beyond their home market, and partners who want to help them do it.
Our promise is simple: whatever it takes to get you live and growing internationally, we handle it. You focus on your business. We'll handle the borders.
Fredo brings 20+ years of experience in global payments, merchant acquiring, and cross-border commerce. His career spans multiple continents and some of the most complex payment environments in the industry — from high-risk merchant acquisition to enterprise-level payment infrastructure.
He founded FT3 with a clear conviction: that businesses going global deserve a partner who's done it before, not a vendor who just sells them products. That belief shapes everything FT3 does.
Steve leads FT3's partner network and business development, drawing on deep experience in financial services and international business relationships. His focus is on building the FT3 Nexus partner programme — giving professionals and organisations the tools to offer world-class global commerce solutions to their own clients.
Steve's approach to partnerships is built on transparency and shared upside. If our partners win, we win — it's the only way to build a network that lasts.
FT3's network spans four continents. We have active operations, acquirer relationships, and partner networks across the markets that matter most for global commerce.
Whether you're a business ready to go global or a professional wanting to add global commerce to your offering — we'd love to hear from you.
