About Choice
Empowering Choice. Changing Lives.
Our Story
Choice Payment Services was formed out of our CEO’s passion for making a positive impact on people’s lives by bridging the enormous gap between traditional and non-traditional, but not expensive, lending products. Choice set out to change consumer omnichannel and point-of-sale lending for the better by enabling a significant lift in consumer credit while mitigating lending risk. She created Choice and hired a seasoned leadership team deeply experienced in healthcare, retail, consumer lending, finance and technology. Together they have addressed significant vulnerabilities and pain points within the consumer finance space and solved customer and patient problems with integrity, innovation, and collaborative partnerships. Choice set out to do finance differently – finance with Silicon Valley tech and Midwest values and heart.
