Keep More of Every Dollar You Earn
Cherokee Payments AI is the strategic payments partner that helps businesses cut through processing complexity, eliminate unnecessary costs, and build payment infrastructure that actually works.
Payment Processing Shouldn't Be This Complicated
Most businesses are stuck with opaque pricing, outdated infrastructure, and processors that treat them like a number. Rates are confusing. Statements are unreadable. Support is nonexistent. And every month, money quietly walks out the door.
The result? You're likely paying more than you should, running on infrastructure that's holding you back, and working with a processor that treats you like a number. That's not a partnership — it's a liability.
Opaque Pricing
Buried fees and confusing rate structures that obscure your true cost of processing
Legacy Infrastructure
Outdated terminals and systems that slow operations and limit what your business can do
Absent Support
Generic call centers and ticket queues that don't know your business or your account
Revenue Friction
Checkout experiences and payment workflows that cost you customers and cash flow
We Simplify Payments So You Can Focus on Growth
Cherokee Payments AI takes the complexity out of payment operations. We analyze your current setup, identify where you're overpaying or underperforming, and implement the right structure — whether that's in-store, mobile, online, or all three.
Through our Payarc partnership, we deliver enterprise-grade payment infrastructure with the kind of personal, strategic guidance that large processors simply don't provide. Think of us as your outsourced payments team.

Send us your most recent processing statement or describe your current setup. We'll review your rates, fees, and structure, then deliver a clear summary of what we find — including whether there are real opportunities to reduce your costs. No obligation, no pressure, no sales pitch.
No. The analysis is purely informational. We'll share our findings and recommendations, and you decide what to do with them. If your current setup is already competitive, we'll tell you that. We earn business through transparency, not pressure.
