Paystone, a leading payments and software company, today announced an enhanced partnership with Leader Auto Resources (LAR Inc.), North America’s largest automotive buying group. This partnership expands the company’s footprint in the automotive industry by an additional 2,000 merchants and comes as a result of Paystone’s recent acquisition of Swift Payments, a Canadian merchant services provider specializing in solutions for the automotive sector.
