Team
Hi, I’m Ashley — the heart behind Simple 8.
We help privately held businesses accept payments, save money, and feel supported while they’re getting paid.
Simple 8 was built on a foundation of care, transparency, and doing business the right way. After years in merchant services, I saw firsthand how confusing, expensive, and frustrating payment processing could be for business owners. I created Simple 8 to offer a better experience — one rooted in honesty, fixed pricing, real support, and solutions that actually make sense.
Since launching Simple 8 in 2019, we’ve been proud to serve businesses across industries, helping them simplify payments, reduce costs, and feel confident in the support behind their processing. My approach has always been simple: offer the kind of service I would want if I were on the other side. That means transparent, fixed pricing with no hidden increases, free terminals, flexible solutions that grow with your business, and 24/7 on-demand support, including chargeback and PCI compliance assistance.
From the beginning, I recognized that every business is unique. That’s why Simple 8 is focused on understanding your specific needs and matching you with the best-fit solution. Your business’s success is our priority, and every solution we implement is designed to make sense for you.
Along the way, Simple 8 has grown alongside my own family. I’m a proud mom to my two boys, Jaxson George and Wesley Harrison, who are a huge part of my “why.” Being their mom is one of the greatest honors of my life, and this business allows me to serve other business owners while building a life and future for my family. Just as importantly, Simple 8 allows us to create opportunities for the families who join our team and to support the families behind the clients we serve. In many ways, Simple 8 has become more than a business; it’s a community of people and families growing, working, and building better futures together.
