About Fountain Payments

Fountain Payments is a payments concierge headquartered in Kansas City (the “City of Fountains”). We partner with the strongest payment providers in the world to offer our clients tailored payment solutions at the best possible rates.

Max Jaben

President & Founder

Max’s journey began with a realization – he noticed the impersonal nature of most payments businesses and saw an opportunity to revolutionize the industry by fostering genuine relationships with clients. He understood that effective communication and personalized support were essential. In response, Max set out to create Fountain Payments as a concierge payments business, dedicated to fighting for merchants and putting their needs at the forefront.

Recognizing the lack of tailored support in the industry, Max made it his mission to address the unique requirements of each client. He firmly believes that by prioritizing the health and success of his clients and providing them with dedicated support, every aspect of the business falls into place. This client-centric approach sets Fountain Payments apart, ensuring that every merchant has a direct point of contact for all their payment needs.

Beyond his entrepreneurial endeavors, Max is an active member of the community and passionate about making a positive impact. He serves as a board member for the Kansas City American Subcontractors Association and the Southwest Johnson County Economic Development Corporation, contributing his expertise to support the local business community. Additionally, Max’s commitment to public safety is demonstrated through his role as an Ocean Lifeguard for the Los Angeles County Fire Department.

 When Max isn’t busy revolutionizing the payments industry and making a difference in his community, he enjoys spending quality time with his family. His love for sports extends to cheering on the Kansas City teams, and he finds solace in music, hunting, fishing, and being in the water. It’s worth mentioning that Max’s remarkable achievements extend to the realm of swimming, as he qualified for the Israeli Olympic Swim Team in 2008.

 Max’s unwavering dedication to his clients, his community involvement, and his pursuit of excellence in all aspects of life make him an exceptional leader within Fountain Payments. With his expertise and commitment to personalized service, Max ensures that merchants receive the attention and support they deserve, making Fountain Payments the go-to solution for all their payment needs.
