Anthony Smith

Payments Operator & Sales-Organization Builder

Anthony brings more than two decades of experience in payments and merchant-portfolio development to Local Merchant Services. The company has grown 1,225% year over year, moving more than $1 billion in annual processing across 100+ partners in each of the last two years. That pace made it Square's top-producing ISO for 2025, with more than 1,000 account acquisitions. Its 100+ agents closed 150 deals last month, backed by proprietary operating software connecting national payment platforms with local distribution and merchant support.

Develop a more technology-enabled payments distribution platform by strengthening the agent network and the systems behind merchant acquisition and support.
