About
We learned this on the bank’s side of the desk.
The same pattern showed up almost every time: good local businesses paying fees they couldn’t read, on contracts they couldn’t get out of, with nobody to call. Cedar Rapids Payments & POS exists to fix that.
01 / The story
Payments, done from the owner’s side.
A background in commercial banking is an unusual starting point for a local payments company. It’s also exactly the point.
Seth Wedewer — Founder
I spent years in commercial banking and payment processing, working directly with the owners and managers of small and mid-size businesses. The same pattern showed up almost every time: the owner was busy running the business and never had time to look at their billing process. The payment service they’d been sold didn’t fit how they actually worked, so their team worked around it instead of with it.
Our goal is simple: help local businesses get their billing process right — so getting paid is easy, every fee is clear, and the system works the way your team already does.

02 / Philosophy
How we think.
Three convictions shape every account we set up.
Local, not a call center
We install your equipment, train your team on site and pick up the phone when you call.
Straight answers
If your current deal is already good, we’ll tell you. We’d rather say “no” than sell you something that won’t move the needle.
