From Main Street to Enterprise—Fortis Helps Businesses Grow
Read time: 3 Minutes
Inspired by national initiatives such as American Express’s Shop Small® movement—which encourages consumers to support local and independent businesses—Fortis shares the same belief: empowering local businesses strengthens communities and drives lasting economic growth.
At Fortis, we believe powerful commerce happens when innovation connects people, businesses, and communities. Every transaction represents trust—and for us, that trust is earned through technology that helps partners and businesses thrive.
While our platform delivers enterprise-grade B2B payment solutions, our impact extends to the small and mid-sized businesses fueling local economies every day. Through our network of software platform partners, we help local entrepreneurs simplify payments, strengthen relationships, and unlock growth opportunities.
Whether it’s a neighborhood shop, service provider, or online seller, Fortis empowers the small businesses that power our communities.
Why Small Businesses Matter More Than Ever
Small businesses are more than storefronts—they’re the creative engine of our economy. They bring innovation, personal connection, and authenticity to every interaction. But running a business today means navigating complex systems, evolving customer expectations, and tighter margins.
That’s where Fortis comes in.
We empower partners and the businesses they serve with modern, embedded payment technology that removes friction and builds efficiency. Our solutions help businesses accept payments anytime, anywhere, across any channel—while streamlining operations and creating consistency that turns everyday transactions into lasting customer loyalty.
When payments work seamlessly, small business owners can focus on what really matters: serving their customers and growing their communities.
The Fortis Difference: Technology + Partnership
At Fortis, we believe that powerful commerce doesn’t just come from great technology—it comes from true partnership. Our approach goes beyond delivering payment capabilities; it’s about helping businesses transform how they operate and grow with confidence.
We combine innovative payment solutions with a partner-centric business model designed for growth. That means simplifying complex payment experiences, scaling seamlessly across channels, and providing dedicated support that helps our partners and businesses thrive.
Through embedded, human-centered technology, Fortis enables small businesses to manage payments effortlessly, improve cash flow, and build stronger relationships with the people they serve.
