Dustin Magaziner, Founder and CEO of PayBright, a payment processor ISO that is making credit card processing simpler and more affordable for small and mid-sized businesses nationwide joins Enterprise Radio.
Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Dustin Magaziner discuss the following:
- What inspired you to become an entrepreneur and launch PayBright, and how has that vision evolved over time?
- You’ve committed to a 100% agent-focused model with no in-house sales team. Why build it that way, and how does that structure benefit both agents and merchants?
- Growing nationally without debt or outside investment is uncommon. What decisions made that kind of sustainable growth possible?
- You’ve spoken a lot about raising the ethical bar in your industry. What are the issues, and how has building your business on transparency and trust led to better outcomes?
- Looking ahead, where do you think the industry is heading as the shift to integrated technology continues, and what role do you see Paybright playing?
Dustin Magaziner is the founder and CEO of PayBright, a privately-owned credit card processing company that provides solutions to over 15,000 businesses nationwide. Under Dustin’s leadership, the company has become one of the fastest-growing merchant services providers in the country, with four consecutive appearances on the Inc. 5000 and recognition in the Triangle Business Journal’s Fast 50.
Growing up in a family of serial entrepreneurs, Dustin witnessed how confusing merchant statements and hidden fees negatively impacted small businesses. While he was a full-time college student, he launched PayBright and secured the company’s first merchant from his dorm room. Over the past 13 years, Dustin has built PayBright around an agent-first model, which features no early termination fees, no surprise rate hikes, and a dedicated support team available for assistance.
PayBright is guided by its mission to restore ethics, transparency, and genuine partnership in payment processing. Agents benefit from a responsive team that handles product demonstrations, integrations, and implementations, helping them win and maintain complex accounts. Merchants enjoy clear pricing and long-term relationships. This hands-on approach extends to modern software and point-of-sale systems, where PayBright supports integrated payments, allowing businesses to operate more efficiently while managing costs.
Dustin’s entrepreneurial spirit has earned recognition such as the Electronic Transactions Association’s ETA 40 Under 40 and the Triangle Business Journal’s 40 Under 40. He remains actively involved in the day-to-day growth of the company, mentoring agents across the country and promoting practical innovations that make payments fairer and more accessible for all merchants served by PayBright.
