Why We Built PSQ Payments

Every business owner knows that access to their customers and payment processing to facilitate their transactions are the oxygen of commerce. But for too many companies that promote traditional American values and principles, that oxygen has been choked off in recent years. Banks have abruptly closed accounts. Processors have frozen funds without warning. Not because of fraud or financial risk—but because of politics. For entrepreneurs who simply want to serve their customers while standing firm in their values, this kind of cancellation is more than unfair. It’s existential.

At PublicSquare, we understand the pain of being debanked and the chilling effect of cancellation. When the ability to process payments—the lifeblood of a business—is threatened, it isn’t just about lost revenue. It’s about silencing voices, punishing convictions, and attempting to erase entire communities from the marketplace.

That’s why we built PSQ Payments.

Cancel-Proof by Design

Unlike traditional processors, PSQ Payments was designed from the ground up to be cancel-proof. We don’t bow to activist campaigns, corporate intimidation, or political pressure. Our mission is to keep your business open and thriving, regardless of the cultural battles raging outside. When you partner with us, you gain the confidence that your payment access won’t vanish overnight because of your beliefs.

Secure, Independent, and Transparent

We’ve also built PSQ Payments with uncompromising standards of security and independence. Your customer data is encrypted and tokenized within our own vault—meaning fewer third parties holding the keys to your business. This isn’t just about compliance; it’s about ensuring your data, your customers, and your transactions are protected from outside influence.

Transparency is another pillar. Many processors hide fees, bury merchants in complexity, or quietly increase rates over time. We believe in transparent, honest pricing, so you know exactly what you’re paying.

Empowering the Freedom Economy

PSQ Payments is more than a tool; it’s part of a movement. Every transaction processed through our platform strengthens the Freedom Economy, a growing network of businesses and consumers who believe in faith, family, freedom, and the right to exist without fear of cancellation.

When you process your transactions with PSQ Payments, you’re not just keeping the lights on. You’re building parallel infrastructure that will preserve liberty for the next generation of entrepreneurs.

Businesses deserve a financial partner who shares their convictions. That’s what PSQ Payments is here to provide. No more de-banking. No more cancellation. Just the freedom to grow, thrive, and serve your customers with excellence.
