ABOUT CAYMAN GATEWAY®
Cayman Gateway® was established in Grand Cayman, the Cayman Islands in 2017 and specializes in enabling your e-commerce business to take online payments from debit/credit cards and clear funds direct to your Cayman Islands bank account.
Cayman Gateway started under new management in 2022, led by locally-based Caymanian's Kevin Foster (CEO) and Mariah Tibbetts (CFO), and has since grown the team internationally with skilled expertise in the UK, India, Bangladesh and Mexico, with expertize in advanced web application coding, cybersecurity, compliance, user experience (UX), sales funnel creation, conversion optimization, branding, and design.
The company's headquarters are in the heart of George Town, Grand Cayman, placing Cayman Gateway in a unique position to provide optional hands-on service as and when required with merchant's customer service requests, face-to-face meetings with banks and developers, and various 3rd-party partners. The company is fully PCI Compliant and is a trusted and valued 3rd-party service provider of several of Cayman's leading banks, and also utilizes advanced security software using 3D Secure.
I had been a client of Cayman Gateway since 2019, so I knew the business and its owners very well and was always happy with the service. So, when the CEO position became vacant, I reached out to the owner to let him know I was interested and eager. This conversation happened on a Friday, and by the following Monday, I was acting-CEO. Since myself and the team began our influence over how the company is managed, we have made significant improvements to the software and customer service, and I can truly say that I beleive Cayman Gateway® is best in class in the Cayman Islands with regards to facilitating safe and secure online payments for businesses who wish to settle their debit/credit card transactions directly into their Cayman-based merchant bank account. On behalf of myself and the Cayman Gateway team, we are proud and excited to help you with your business, and we will support you with everything we possibly can to help you along the way, with your business, website, mobile app and more. Our goal is and always will be to exceed your expectations and provide you with much more than just a professional payment gateway solution.
