Square 1 Bank, a division of Pacific Western Bank, announced that it has provided a $1.5 million credit facility to new client Payzer, a mobile and cloud-based financial tool. Proceeds from the facility will be used to fund the launch of new SaaS and transactional products.

Based in Charlotte, NC, Payzer helps contractors grow and manage their businesses by enabling them to close sales and collect payments in the field. With Payzer's "all-in-one" solution, users can accept and manage payments and customer profiles as well as make instant loans—all via their mobile devices.

We are excited to partner with their team as they transform the way contractors and subcontractors conduct business and streamline the payment process in a historically paper-heavy industry."
