“Deluxe is the original payments company. Our founder was a small business entrepreneur who invented the checkbook in 1915 and ever since then, we have been focused on helping businesses of all size thrive in our global economy,” McCarthy said. “It was a great pleasure to share the stage with Sallie and Baron and discuss the impact that technology, people, and the changing marketplace have on financial services. This is an exciting time to be at Deluxe as we execute our historic transformation. We have attracted world-class talent and are re-invigorating our culture to become a dynamic, responsive team that delivers innovative payment and cloud solutions to our nearly 5 million small business customers and 4,600 financial institution customers.”
