Global Processing Systems: Powering Prosperity Through Innovation & Integrity

For more than two decades, Global Processing Systems (GPS) has stood as a pillar of reliability and innovation in the payment processing industry. Founded in La Verne, California, and led by visionary entrepreneur Moses Heredia, GPS has built a nationwide network of merchants and agents united by one mission: to simplify payments, empower small businesses, and create wealth through integrity-driven partnerships.

Founded over 22 years ago, with Heredia bringing more than 30 years of experience to the table, GPS has become synonymous with excellence. Its processor and sponsor bank support over 6 million merchant locations, managing more than 27 billion dollars in U.S. payment transactions and over 2.4 trillion dollars worldwide annually. Behind those impressive figures lies a company rooted in honesty, transparency, and service, a philosophy that has earned GPS the loyalty of customers who have remained since its inception.

As a Top 100 Independent Sales Organization (ISO), GPS has not only set industry benchmarks but also redefined what true customer support looks like. Every client receives in-house customer service, 24/7 live support, and next-day funding, all delivered by real people in the U.S. who understand the urgency of keeping businesses running smoothly.

What truly distinguishes Global Processing Systems is its commitment to financial freedom for business owners. With programs designed to reduce or eliminate processing fees by 20 to 40 percent, GPS helps clients transform what was once an expense into a profit advantage. Through Cash Discount and Dual Pricing models, businesses can keep more of what they earn without sacrificing service or technology.

The company’s versatility extends across industries from restaurants and retail to automotive, e-commerce, and professional services, offering customized POS systems, mobile payment solutions, and online gateways like Clover, Valor, and Authorize.net. Integration, installation, and training are handled by GPS’s technical experts, ensuring seamless transitions and zero downtime.

At the heart of this success story is Moses Heredia, whose journey from working in the fields of New Mexico to leading one of the world’s largest processing companies embodies the essence of the American Dream. His mother, Elestina Heredia, a tireless entrepreneur, taught him the values of faith, humility, and service, principles that continue to shape the company’s culture today.

Heredia’s leadership extends beyond business. As the only Latino to hold dual advisory roles on the ISO boards of both Fiserv and TSYS, he plays an instrumental role in shaping national standards for the payments industry. His story of perseverance and faith has been captured in his book Fields to Fortune: The True Story of How a Farmhand Built a Global Empire, a motivational blueprint for entrepreneurs chasing their own dreams.

His guiding philosophy, known as the “4 G’s: God, Goals, Grind, Global,” reflects a mindset that blends faith-based leadership with bold ambition. “Go Global to Give Back,” one of his keynote mantras, encapsulates his belief that profit and purpose must coexist.

Heredia’s impact stretches far beyond boardrooms. GPS actively engages in philanthropic outreach, supporting orphanages in Mexico, hosting charity dinners for homeless families, and donating wheelchairs to individuals in need. His initiatives reflect a deep sense of gratitude and responsibility, a commitment to lifting others as he climbs.

“Moses doesn’t just build businesses, he builds people,” says Sean Mike Kelly, host of Digital Social Hour. Assemblywoman Leticia Castillo, representing California’s 58th District, echoes that sentiment, saying, “His passion for supporting business owners is truly inspiring. Leaders like Moses are transforming lives.”

As the digital economy continues to evolve, GPS remains at the forefront of innovation, embracing AI, machine learning, and enhanced data security to create faster and safer payment systems. Heredia envisions a future where small and medium-sized business owners can access the same advanced tools as corporate giants without sacrificing personal support or transparency.

“Our mission is to empower entrepreneurs to thrive,” Heredia shares. “When business owners save money and grow, communities grow with them. That’s what success looks like to us.”

From a modest start in Hobbs, New Mexico, to a leadership role influencing billions in global transactions, Global Processing Systems stands as proof that integrity, innovation, and faith remain timeless keys to success. Under Moses Heredia’s guidance, GPS is not merely processing payments, it is powering prosperity for generations to come.
