The story of Adaptive Payment Solutions began with humble roots as Hay Meadows, a company dedicated to website design and SEO.

Originally founded in 2002 as Hay Meadows Design
Our oldest daughter’s name translates to “Hay Meadows,” making it a fitting choice when we started as a website design company. Though it didn’t align as well when we transitioned to SEO, the name was already well-established, so we kept it for many years.

The Shift to SEO
As our expertise in SEO grew, the company rebranded as Hay Meadows SEO. And yes, I did snag that license plate back in the heyday—not to be confused with hay day!

The Adaptive Name is Born

The Year of Change, 2024
Merchant Account Executive
In 2024, we transitioned into merchant services industry, becoming an Independent Sales Agent (ISA) and rebranding as Adaptive Payment Solutions.
The Rest of the Story
Over the years, the company has successfully navigated various challenges, including the Great Recession (2007-2009), the COVID-19 shutdowns (with Washington State being particularly affected), and the current period of record-high inflation.
Dedication, hard work, and treating every client as a key part of our future have been the driving forces behind our growth and pursuit of the American dream.
Of course, always striving for excellence has been a constant along the way!

The Now
Today, Adaptive Payment Solutions is embracing what we believe to be the next major opportunity for business owners. For years, merchants have been burdened by rising credit card processing fees, which significantly cut into their profits. Now, there’s a solution that allows businesses to save thousands by passing these fees on to customers—the ones who directly benefit from perks like frequent flyer miles and cash-back rewards. This simple shift enables businesses to retain more revenue while continuing to offer the same level of convenience to their customers.
The Future
Where will Adaptive Payment Solutions be tomorrow? As always, we’ll be at the cutting edge, right where both our business and our clients need to be. Whether it’s advancements in search engines, social media, Web 3.0, AI, or the next big trend, it’s our responsibility to seize every opportunity as it arises. This is where the greatest potential for growth—and profit—lies for all of us.
