DALLAS, Aug. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ –SignaPay LTD, a leading merchant services and payment solutions provider announced today that John Martillo of SignaPay was named an Entrepreneur Of The Year^® 2021 Southwest Award winner. The Entrepreneur of The Year Awards program is one of the preeminent competitive awards for entrepreneurs and leaders of high-growth companies.

This award recognizes our full team who have worked so hard to bring our vision to life. I am so proud to be recognized for our innovation and ingenuity and to join the ranks of such talented individuals across the country.”
