Dividend Shift Expands Merchant Network Across the US and Canada1
Dividend Shift, a digital payment infrastructure company, announces continued expansion of its merchant network across the United States and Canada through partnerships with established card network companies, as demand from brick-and-mortar businesses for cost-effective point-of-sale solutions accelerates in 2026.
Miami, Florida — May 2026 — Dividend Shift, a digital payment infrastructure company, today announced continued expansion of its merchant network across the United States and Canada. The company deploys point-of-sale payment terminals directly with brick-and-mortar businesses through partnerships with established card network companies, and has seen accelerating demand in 2026 as independent merchants increasingly seek cost-effective payment processing solutions.
The expansion reflects a broader shift in how small and mid-size business owners are approaching payment infrastructure, with a growing segment of the market actively seeking point-of-sale solutions that reduce their dependence on high-fee legacy processors.
BUILDING THE NETWORK FROM THE GROUND UP
Dividend Shift operates by identifying and onboarding local merchants — restaurants, barbershops, retail stores, and service businesses — and deploying payment terminals at their locations through its partnerships with established card network companies operating across the United States and Canada. The company earns revenue through a share of transaction fees processed at each merchant location, creating a distributed network of active payment nodes across multiple markets.
“We are not waiting for the financial system to change around us,” said Gedam Tekle, CEO and Founder of Dividend Shift. “We are building the infrastructure ourselves, one merchant at a time. Every location we add to the network is another business owner who has decided to stop overpaying for payment processing and start keeping more of what they earn.”
The company’s network continues to grow as awareness of cost-effective payment infrastructure increases among business owners in markets where Dividend Shift operates. Verified partner feedback on REVIEWS.io and Glassdoor reflects a high-performance operational culture and strong satisfaction among those who have joined the network.
JOINING THE NETWORK
Dividend Shift selectively partners with motivated individuals who want to participate in the expansion of its merchant network across the United States and Canada. Partners are integrated into the company’s operational infrastructure, trained on the company’s placement process, and supported through the network’s existing merchant relationships and systems.
“The mechanism here is straightforward,” said Tekle. “The network is growing. We are looking for the right people to grow it with us in their local regions.”

A VALIDATED AND EXPANDING MARKET
Independent merchants in the United States and Canada collectively pay an estimated $160 billion per year in card processing fees, according to the Nilson Report. The average small business pays between 2.5% and 3.5% per transaction to legacy card processors — a cost that compounds significantly at scale and disproportionately impacts independent operators compared to large enterprises that negotiate lower interchange rates.
Dividend Shift operates at the merchant level — the point of sale — where this cost pressure is most directly felt by everyday business owners. By deploying terminals through partnerships with established card network companies, the company provides independent merchants access to processing infrastructure that was previously available only to larger operators.
