Evolving to meet your needs

The changing regulatory landscape and evolving needs of the electronic payment industry require an agile approach to payment processing. In 2018 we joined forces with First International Bank & Trust to ensure we met the changing needs head-on with the resources only a financial institution could provide. From there we became known as Kotapay. Our new name represents our pride in the northern prairie and our North Dakota roots. It embodies what is great about our company today and what we hope to achieve in the future.


Powered by First International Bank & Trust

First International Bank & Trust has allowed us to continue honing our services and help more and more businesses do what they do best without having to stress about their electronic payments. Since 1910, the bank has built its foundation on the relationship with its customers and its dedication to helping them Live First. Here at Kotapay, we want the same thing – for you to have seamless processes so you and everyone at your business can enjoy life and the things that matter most.
