Erik Verryden has served in the merchant services industry for 20 years. He founded Phoenix-based National Processing Solutions (NPS) in 2003, with aspirations to bring a positive culture to the payments industry by placing charitable organizations at its core. Offering transaction solutions to small and large businesses across the nation, NPS quickly became one of the fastest growing independent payment companies in the Southwest. Through NPS Gives, 20 percent of each transactional charge is donated to a nonprofit of each merchant’s selection. To date, NPS Gives has donated over $300,000 to more than 75 organizations across the country and has truly become a friendly partner to many business owners and communities.
After many years of directly immersing himself and NPS in business and nonprofit communities, Erik found that he had developed meaningful relationships with industry leaders and organizations who were also invested in helping entrepreneurs and the causes dear to them. In 2019, NPS transitioned to NexGen Partner Strategies, which provides diversified services that offer convenient, end-to-end business solutions to a variety of business owners. Services include payment processing, payroll and HR services, insurance, working capital and telemedicine. Under NexGen Partner Strategies, NPS Gives continues to carry out great work in the community.
“When I entered the merchant services industry in college, I manifested the idea of offering full-service business solutions created by synergetic partnerships, all under one roof” said Verryden. “That dream is being realized, and best of all, we are highly integrated with the organizations that our clients deeply value. NexGen Partner Strategies could not ask for more.”
Verryden is certified as an Electronic Transaction Association Payment Professional (ETA CPP). He currently serves on the Arizona Heart Foundation’s board of directors and is a founding member of the Phoenix Metro Chamber of Commerce. Erik was born and raised in Portland, where he studied business. He frequently volunteers with Helping Hands for Freedom and co-owns Crossfit Blur in Scottsdale. He is passionate about fitness, the outdoors and spending time with family and friends.
