Payments as Growth Engine: Insights from Adam Oberman on Leaders in Payments Podcast

At Payroc, we believe payments should be more than a utility—they should be a driver of growth and long-term success. On Episode 430 of the Leaders in Payments podcast series Powering Payments Together, our President, Adam Oberman, shared how Payroc’s vision, strategy, and people-first culture are helping independent software vendors (ISVs) scale smarter in an evolving payments landscape.

From our early days as an ISO to becoming a global, technology-led company, Payroc has always focused on integrity, flexibility, and relationships. As Oberman noted, “APIs might win demos, but white-glove support and responsiveness are what build lasting relationships.” For ISVs, integrating payments is only the starting point. The real value comes from turning payments into a true growth engine.

Today’s software companies face rising expectations for frictionless experiences, flexible engagement models, and global scale from day one. Integrated payments are no longer an optional feature; they’ve become a financial backbone of SaaS, contributing as much as 20-40% of revenue. That’s why we design programs that meet ISVs where they are, whether they’re just starting to embed payments, scaling rapidly, or expanding globally.

Looking ahead, the message is clear: ISVs don’t outgrow payments—they outgrow their payment partners. By combining smart technology with human-centered support, Payroc takes a close partner approach, helping ISVs accelerate revenue, expand into new markets, and deliver exceptional customer experiences. With the right partner, payments become more than a box to check—they become a competitive advantage.
