Same Team Processing was founded by Niko Belavilas and Timothy Dow, two professionals deeply committed to creating value in business while driving meaningful community impact. Niko, a former professional athlete, and Timothy, a seasoned sports performance coach, initially focused their efforts on building elite coaching programs to serve athletes in their community. However, they quickly recognized a greater need: addressing the broader challenges their county faced, including outdated facilities and limited resources.

While traditional fundraising and donation-based approaches provided some relief, they were inherently limited by the level of external contributions. It became clear that in order to create sustained community improvement, they needed a scalable, self-sustaining solution that could generate consistent revenue over time.

This realization led to the foundation of Same Team Processing. They identified a universal need among businesses: the need to process card payments and access modern payment technology.

The Same Team Processing model is built on two key principles:

1. Impact in Businesses: By providing cost-effective payment solutions and advanced technology, Same Team Processing enables businesses to operate more efficiently and save money.

2. Impact in Community: A portion of their profits are dedicated exclusively to funding community projects such as infrastructure improvements, educational programs, and local development initiatives.

For businesses seeking both efficiency and purpose, Same Team Processing provides the tools and vision to achieve both.
