About Us
Built in Canonsburg. Built on Trust.
Elevation Payments, a division of Elevation 1096 LLC, was founded with a simple idea: build something meaningful together that truly helps local businesses succeed. The four founders all grew up in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, and share the goal of creating a business that serves the community that helped shape them.The name Elevation 1096 comes directly from our hometown, where Canonsburg sits 1,096 feet above sea level. That number represents both where we come from and what we aim to do: help businesses rise.
