Payment processing in Canada

Why We Started Avant

Big payment processors have dominated the Canadian market for too long, and most small businesses don’t realize how much they’re overpaying. After seeing countless merchants stuck in bad contracts, paying inflated rates, and receiving little to no support, we knew there had to be a better option.

Avant exists to give business owners a fair alternative.

An option built on honesty.

On clarity.

On real relationships.

On doing things differently.

Let’s Build Something Together

Whether you’re switching processors, opening a new business, or simply want to understand your fees, we’re here to help.

We’re more than just a payment provider — we’re a partner.

This is payment processing done right.

This is Avant.
