Assembly was founded in 2013 by three entrepreneurs (and later, a fourth), each having different sized businesses, and all having less-than-perfect experiences getting paid.
‍
The creaky old payments systems available at the time had not kept up with the way they, or most people, do business online, on mobile, or in-store. Commerce was complex, confusing, and not flexible enough to adapt to their evolving needs.
‍
Armed with this belief that cash, plastic and clunky payment terminals are either dead, or are disappearing, they set out to provide simple, unified commerce through any channel.
‍
By offering a way to accept and disburse payments via any channel, and a single source of truth to manage it all, Assembly gives businesses the building blocks to compete, scale and thrive in an increasingly complex world.
