Lexicon Will Integrate Usio’s Proprietary PayFac-in-a-Box™ Electronic Payments Platform into their Software to Simplify the Payments Process for Their End Users


SAN ANTONIO, June 30, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Usio (Nasdaq: USIO), a tech-enabled payment solutions provider, announced today that it has signed a partnership agreement with Lexicon, adding to the legal software partnerships recently announced, and further illustrating that the legal industry increasingly views Usio’s proprietary PayFac-in-a-Box™ platform as the preferred payments technology. Lexicon, a legal services and technology provider for law firms of all specialties and sizes, will leverage Usio’s Payment Facilitation platform to provide an integrated payments experience to its law firm customers and the associated end users those law firms support.

“Our partnership with Lexicon demonstrates the continued confidence many forward-thinking software companies in the legal vertical place in Usio and our proprietary PayFac-in-a-Box™ payments technology platform,” commented Greg Carter, SVP of Payment Facilitation at Usio. “By embedding our technologically advanced payments platform into their core software platform, Lexicon can streamline and simplify the payments needs of a large and growing market.
