Joe Lynam, President, CEO and Founder
More than a dozen years ago, Joe Lynam envisioned a new payment process that would allow all
consumers to participate in the emerging digital economy. Today, the digital economy is in full swing
and the company Joe founded, PaymentOne, has emerged as the industry's fastest-growing direct to bill
(D2B) payments provider, bridging personal computer-based eCommerce and mobile commerce. Joe
has spent the last two decades as one of the leading pioneers of digital payments. His early work in
online payment methods, authentication tools and comprehensive fraud control techniques are now
emerging as industry-wide standards, and have earned his company multiple patents.
Joe is an accomplished entrepreneur and seasoned executive with proven ability to lead companies
through profitable double and triple digit growth. Under his leadership, PaymentOne has more than
doubled its revenues in four consecutive years, culminating in two Deloitte Fast 50 Awards, recognition
