About Vince Bowie

Hello, I’m Vince Bowie, President and CEO of Vicksum Pay. I founded Vicksum Pay in October of 2021 with a simple but powerful belief: that I could run a payment processing company just as effectively as the major players in the industry by prioritizing customers and delivering phenomenal customer service. I emphasize that Vicksum Pay is not in the business of convincing customers but rather in the business of helping them by eliminating problems and providing solutions that genuinely improve their operations. 

Since our founding, we’ve made significant strides and achieved a lot of success, and we don’t plan on stopping anytime soon. With a 12-year background in the banking industry and 6 years of experience in marketing and advertising, I have built a long and successful career in management. Originally from Illinois, I moved to Iowa to play baseball in college. However, it was during my time in school that I discovered a passion for business and public speaking, which ultimately led me to pursue a career in the business world. My commitment to excellence and a customer-focused approach continues to drive Vicksum Pay's success and growth.
