Our Story

In September 1997, Electronic Cash Systems (ECS), was formed by CEO Fadi Cheikha and wife Kim with the mission of providing ATM, credit and debit card, check, and ACH processing to businesses. In being so diverse, ECS is able to accommodate any payment need for any size company. Today, ECS continues to focus on industry changes to provide their customers with the most seamless and cost-effective payment solutions. ECS maintains thousands of merchant relationships throughout the U.S. and has long-standing relationships with the very best manufacturers, processors, and network members.

In March 2007, US Alliance Group was born as a parent company to ECS, API, and PPI. Offering cutting-edge payment processing solutions for merchants accepting credit card, debit card, mobile, and online payments.

In April 2021, ECS branched out to Boise, Idaho. The office focuses on serving locals with the utmost priority and personable relationships as well as payment solutions. ECS prides itself on the ability to provide countless payment options for the community to ensure any business type or size can utilize their solutions. ECS offers a variety of payment products and solutions like credit and debit, ATMs, virtual terminals, cash advance, remote deposit capture, and more!

We are more than just a business.

USAG strives to be more than just a business. We pride ourselves in the awards we have received that recognize what our philosophy is. We care not only for the financial well-being of each employee, but we also care for their health, personal well-being, and overall happiness. Our most valuable recognition is being honored by the Orange County Business Journal, the Orange County Register, and INC. as a Best Workplace. This award is a direct reflection of how our employees feel about working at USAG. We have been awarded this honor for several years in a row and we continue to make it a top priority.
