When you're here, you get that our values are more than just words on paper. You’re joining a place where diversity, equity, and inclusion are at the heart of our business practices and culture.

Where belonging isn’t a corporate thing to be done; it’s an entitlement for any human that walks through our doors.

What we do.

Zenti is a high-growth fintech company based in Bingham Farms, Michigan. Founded in 2011 as a new type of company for modern brands to partner with to drive sustainable growth. Zenti is a human-first firm that is the perfect mix of old school values and next-gen technology.

Founded by Mickael Gibrael out of the frustration that brands were left without a payment solution partner that felt more like family and less like a “vendor”.

Zenti serves as a strategic partner, with an implementation arm across all payment processing solutions (crypto, credit cards, echecks, ACH, etc.). It primarily works with high-risk, growing brands in the following industries: finance, mobile apps, tech, adult, marketing and various professional services.

We’re rigorous about how we build our team as well as the clients we work with and the services we offer. We’re building some of the most complex solutions in the world of commerce which requires hard work, a collaborative team, insane technology and strategic problem solving.

No matter who you are or where you're from, there are a few things that make us all tick. Being open and taking chances. Inspiring others and giving a shit. Doing the right thing.

It’s time to ask yourself: What gets you out of bed in the morning?
