It’s the people with whom we spend our work hours – collaborating, laughing, sharing, and of course snacking – that make us proud by developing world-class solutions and providing exceptional customer service. Payworks is 100% Canadian owned and operated and a multi-year winner of Canada’s Best Managed Companies, Manitoba’s Top Employer and Canada’s Top Small and Medium Employers. Each one of us has had a role in cultivating and sustaining a workplace culture where we’re committed to taking care of each other, our customers, and our communities in the ways that matter most.
