What Is Kadima?
A Word. A Movement. A Business Built Different.
Kadima means “Forward” in Hebrew — but to us, it means more than just direction. It means momentum. It means movement with purpose. It means doing business with integrity, community, and long-term vision.
At Kadima Payments, we're not just another processor. We're builders by trade. Entrepreneurs by spirit. And we’re on a mission to create payment solutions that help real businesses grow without fear of shutdowns, hidden fees, or cookie-cutter service.
We’re here for the contractors rejected by Stripe. The builders, creators, and risk-takers who need more than a faceless help desk. The ones looking for partners — not providers.
We believe payment processing should be:
- Fast, flexible, and built around your business — not the other way around
- Transparent and fair — no fine print or rate creep
- Backed by real humans who care about your growth
That’s why we built Kadima — to bring the power back to business owners. To create forward-thinking solutions that aren’t afraid of scale, complexity, or category. Whether you’re building homes, managing portfolios, launching SaaS, or shipping products — we’ve got the infrastructure to help you get paid, stay live, and grow with confidence.
Kadima Isn’t Just a Name. It’s a Commitment.
We move forward with you. Past the banks that said no. Past the providers that shut you down. Past the limits of traditional merchant services.
This is payment processing built by builders. Trusted by founders. Powered by purpose.
