"Partner With A Veteran-owned, Pro-American Payment Company That Shares Your Values."

[EPIC Merchant Systems @EPICMS]

Happy Father's Day to all the fathers, grandfathers, stepfathers, and father figures who lead by example every day.

Thank you for the sacrifices you make, the lessons you teach, the values you pass down, and the strength you provide for your families. Whether you're working long hours, coaching from the sidelines, teaching life lessons around the dinner table, or simply being present when it matters most, your impact reaches far beyond what you may ever see.

Strong fathers help build strong families, strong communities, and a strong nation.

From all of us at EPIC Merchant Systems, we wish you a blessed and Happy Father's Day.

"When I was a Marine infantryman, I learned that mission accomplishment starts with taking care of your people."

That lesson has guided me throughout my life.

In the Marine Corps, your mission matters. But the mission only succeeds when you take care of the people entrusted to you.

When I founded EPIC Merchant Systems, I brought that same mindset with me.

We didn't set out to become the biggest in the country.

We set out to build a 2A-friendly merchant services company that would take care of the businesses and business owners who share our values.

The Marine Corps taught me that commitment means standing by your people when things get difficult.

It taught me that trust is earned, not given.

It taught me that service comes before self.

Those principles are woven into the fabric of EPIC Merchant Systems.

We are members of the 2A community.

We understand the challenges our merchants face because many of them are the same challenges we care about ourselves.

That's why we answer the phone.

That's why we build relationships.

That's why we fight to earn our clients' trust every single day.

We may not be the biggest.

The Marine Corps isn't the biggest branch of the military either.

But like the Marines, we're disciplined, committed, and focused on the mission.

And our mission starts with taking care of our people.

🇺🇸 #REDFriday 🇺🇸

While most Americans are wrapping up another week, heading home to their families, and preparing for the weekend, there are Americans standing watch.

Some are deployed in hostile regions.
Some are stationed on bases thousands of miles from home.
Some are aboard ships crossing the world's oceans.
Some are flying missions over foreign skies.
Some are gathering intelligence.
Some are training alongside our allies.
Some are operating in places most Americans have never heard of.

And some are carrying out missions that will never be discussed publicly.

No cameras.
No headlines.
No recognition.

Just duty.

Every day they wake up, put on the uniform, and accept the responsibility that comes with defending the United States of America. They miss birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, and family dinners so the rest of us can enjoy the freedoms and opportunities that make this nation exceptional.

The strongest nation in the history of the world remains strong because generations of Americans have been willing to stand the line, shoulder the burden, and answer the call when their country needed them.

Today, take a moment to remember the service members deployed and stationed all over the world. Remember their families who serve alongside them through sacrifice and separation. Remember that freedom is never free.

Pray for their safety.
Pray for their mission.
Pray for their return home.

And never forget that while we enjoy our freedoms, there are Americans standing watch in every corner of the globe.

🇺🇸 Remember Everyone Deployed.

THE COMPLETE FFL TECHNOLOGY STACK

Most FFLs are trying to run a specialized business with generic tools.

That's a problem.

FFLs need technology partners that understand:

✔ Compliance
✔ Inventory Management
✔ eCommerce
✔ Distributor Integrations
✔ Customer Experience
✔ Payment Processing

That's why more dealers are combining:

🔹 FastBound
🔹 Defender POS
🔹 EPIC Merchant Systems

Three providers.
One ecosystem.
Built for FFLs.

Read the full article and discover why this combination is helping dealers simplify operations and position their businesses for growth.

The FFL Trifecta Nobody's Talking About Enough

Most FFL store owners are duct-taping together software that was built for coffee shops and clothing boutiques, then wondering why compliance is a nightmare and margins are shrinking.

Here's the truth:

FastBound + Defender POS + EPIC Merchant Systems = a complete end-to-end business platform built specifically for FFLs.

✅ Compliance: FastBound handles your digital 4473s, A&D bound book, and ATF recordkeeping automatically. No more manual entries. No more audit anxiety.

✅ Operations: Defender POS manages your inventory, range, eCommerce, gunsmithing work orders, distributor feeds, and customer loyalty. All from one screen.

✅ Payments: EPIC Merchant Systems provides FFL-friendly payment processing with industry-supportive banking relationships, margin-protecting pricing, and real human support. No more worrying about your processor dropping you.

The difference between this stack and a generic solution isn't just features, it's that every single provider in this ecosystem actually understands your business.

They know what a Form 4473 is. They know what an SOT is. They know why you can't just use Square.

🎯 This is what an end-to-end platform looks like when it's built FOR FFLs, not retrofitted FOR them.

Whether you're a brick-and-mortar gun store, a home-based FFL, a shooting range, or a Class III dealer, this combination protects your compliance, streamlines your operations, and secures your payments.

Stop building your business on tools that weren't made for you.

#REDFriday

Somewhere tonight, while most Americans are sitting down to dinner, watching television, scrolling social media, or climbing into a warm bed, an American warrior is standing watch.

Somewhere in the darkness, a Marine, Soldier, Sailor, Airman, Guardian, or Coast Guardsman is carrying the weight of freedom on their shoulders.

Not for applause.
Not for recognition.
Not for likes.
Not for comfort.

But because duty called.

As combat operations continue and tensions rise across the globe, America's sons and daughters are once again answering the call. They leave behind spouses. Children. Parents. Friends. Businesses. Dreams. Birthdays. Holidays. Anniversaries.

And they go.

They go because freedom is not self-executing.
They go because evil does not stop on its own.
They go because somebody must stand the line between order and chaos.

To every American serving in harm's way tonight, whether you're on a ship in hostile waters, flying combat missions, standing post at a remote outpost, supporting operations behind the scenes, or carrying the fight directly to those who threaten our nation:

America sees you.
America needs you.
America is stronger because of you.

You represent the very best of this country. Courage. Discipline. Sacrifice. Honor.

The flag doesn't fly because politicians talk.

The flag flies because warriors stand ready to defend it.

So today we wear red.

Not as a trend.
Not as a slogan.

But as a reminder.

A reminder that freedom has a cost.
A reminder that somebody is carrying that burden right now.
A reminder that American strength still exists because American warriors still answer the call.

Stay vigilant.
Stay disciplined.
Stay dangerous.

And come home victorious.

Most dealers don't switch processors because of rates.

They switch because the processor can't support where the business is going.

Website.

Online sales.

GunBroker.

Growth.

That's when "all processors are the same" stops being true.

🇺🇸 June 6, 1944. 🇺🇸

Young men climbed out of landing craft and into hell.

Machine gun fire.
Artillery.
Chaos.

They didn't know if they would survive the next minute.

But they moved forward anyway.

Not because it was easy.
Not because it was safe.
Because freedom demanded it.

The beaches of Normandy were not won by comfort. They were won by courage, sacrifice, discipline, and an unbreakable commitment to something greater than self.

Today, we remember the heroes who charged into the storm so future generations could live free.

Honor them by remembering.
Honor them by living with purpose.
Honor them by refusing to waste the liberty they purchased with their blood.

The greatest generation didn't ask what their country could do for them.

They answered the call.

And they led.

Remember D-Day.

Remember the cost of freedom.

And never forget the men who ran toward the guns.

America remembers. 🇺🇸

🇺🇸 RED Friday 🇺🇸

Today is RED Friday.

Remember Everyone Deployed.

While most Americans wake up in the comfort of their homes, enjoy breakfast with their families, and go about their daily routines, there are brave men and women standing watch in places far from home.

They're on ships crossing distant oceans.

They're on airfields, bases, and outposts around the world.

They're on duty in places most Americans will never see, carrying the weight of freedom on their shoulders.

They miss birthdays.

They miss anniversaries.

They miss holidays.

They miss the simple moments with their spouses, children, parents, and friends.

Yet they continue to serve.

Not because it's easy.

Not because it's comfortable.

Because the mission matters.

Because they made a commitment.

Because they understand that freedom is never free.

Today, wear red with pride.

Take a moment to remember those who are deployed, standing the watch while the rest of us enjoy the blessings of liberty.

America remains strong because generations of warriors have been willing to answer the call, defend our nation, support our allies, and stand ready against those who would threaten freedom.

To every Soldier, Marine, Sailor, Airman, Guardian, and Coast Guardsman serving overseas:

We see you.
We appreciate you.
We stand behind you.

Stay focused.
Stay disciplined.
Stay strong.

Complete the mission and come home safely.
America is proud of you.

🇺🇸 God Bless Our Troops. God Bless Our Veterans. God Bless the United States of America. 🇺🇸

Most FFLs don't need a new credit card terminal.

They need a payment processor whose banking partners actually support the firearms industry.

Retail stores.

Home-based FFLs.

GunBroker sellers.

Ranges.

Instructors.

NFA dealers.

We break it all down in our latest guide:

🇺🇸 MEMORIAL DAY.

This is not Armed Forces Day.
This is not Veterans Day.

This is the sacred day we stop everything and remember the American warriors who charged into hell, who held the line when others fell back, and who paid the ultimate price, their lives, so that the rest of us could live free.

They didn’t fall for politics.
They didn’t fall for glory or recognition.
They fell for this country. For the Republic. For the Constitution. For the hard-won idea that every American has the right to live, speak, work, and stand tall in freedom.

We owe them more than words. We owe them our discipline, our vigilance, and our daily commitment to be worthy of their sacrifice. Above all, we honor Almighty God who gave them the strength and courage to answer the call.

To the fallen:

We see you.
We remember you.
We will carry your memory with honor.

America is still worth fighting for.
Stay hard. Stay grateful. Stay free.

God bless those who gave their last full measure.
God bless their families who bear the heaviest burden.

God bless the United States of America. 🇺🇸

[EPIC Merchant Systems @EPICMS]

🇺🇸 USA! USA! USA! 🇺🇸

Sorry not sorry that American engineers just sent a giant stainless steel rocket into space and brought it back like absolute legends.

The same people who cheer for every other country waving their flag suddenly clutch their pearls when Americans chant USA?

Must be exhausting being allergic to excellence.

This is America, we build the future, we land the rockets, and we damn sure cheer for our country.

If that triggers you... stay mad.

Land of the Free, Home of the Brave.

Today is #REDFriday.

Remember Everyone Deployed.

While most people are heading into the weekend thinking about comfort, entertainment, and distractions, there are Americans standing watch tonight in places most people couldn’t find on a map.

Men and women carrying rifles.
Running operations.
Missing birthdays.
Missing anniversaries.
Sleeping in dirt.
Standing post in the heat, the cold, and the dark.

They do it without applause.
Without recognition.
Without complaint.

Freedom is never free and peace is never automatic.

There are warriors right now willing to go into harm’s way so their fellow Americans can live normal lives back home.

Do not forget them.

Pray for them.
Support their families.
Live a life worthy of their sacrifice.

Discipline.
Duty.
Honor.
Country.

We remember.
We support.
We stand with them.

Most FFL businesses don’t need another commodity payment processor.

They need a partner who understands:
• Retail
• E-commerce
• GunBroker
• Home-based FFL operations
• Margin protection
• Real customer support

That’s why more businesses are moving to EPIC Merchant Systems.

@FN_America My favorite .45!

Lock In $9.99 Before June 1, 2026

For years, we’ve held our monthly service fee at just $9.99 while continuing to invest in better technology, security, compliance, and real human customer support.

We have absorbed rising operational, technology, compliance, and support costs for years, but we’ve now reached the point where a pricing adjustment is necessary in order to maintain the level of service, reliability, security, and personal support our merchants expect from EPIC Merchant Systems.

Beginning June 1, 2026, the monthly service fee for new accounts will increase to $14.99.

However, if you are a current customer with a $9.99 monthly service fee, your rate will remain unchanged.

And if you activate your account before June 1, 2026, your $9.99 monthly service fee will be locked in for the life of your account.

No surprises.
No future increase to your monthly service fee.

Move now and secure your $9.99 monthly service fee for life.

Today is Armed Forces Day.

Not Veterans Day.
Not Memorial Day.

Today we recognize the men and women currently serving in the United States Armed Forces.

Right now, somewhere in the world, American service members are standing watch.
Training.
Deploying.
Sacrificing time with their families.

Putting mission, country, and duty ahead of comfort.
Most Americans will never fully understand the weight that comes with wearing the uniform in today’s world.
But those who serve carry it anyway.

At EPIC Merchant Systems, we proudly stand behind the men and women actively defending this nation and protecting the freedoms we too often take for granted.

To every soldier, Marine, sailor, airman, Guardian, and Coast Guardsman serving today:

We see you.
We respect you.

And we thank you for your service to this country.

God bless our Armed Forces.
And God bless the United States of America.
