Introducing Pie: Payarc’s Payments Intelligence Expert
At the core of Payarc’s AI-driven innovation is Pie (Payments Intelligence Expert), an advanced set of tools designed to make payments smarter, faster, and more secure. Built with AWS’s analytics and AI capabilities, including Amazon SageMaker and Amazon Redshift, Pie delivers real-time insights and automation to help businesses stay ahead.
One of Pie’s most impactful features is its ability to predict potential merchant churn with up to 85% accuracy. By identifying at-risk accounts early, Payarc’s support teams can take proactive steps to strengthen relationships and ensure long-term success. Instead of just preventing losses, Pie fosters stability and growth by giving businesses the insights they need.
Beyond retention, Pie enhances risk management and operational efficiency. It predicts ACH payment failures, reducing disruptions before they happen. Automated document verification and real-time risk assessment have cut onboarding times by 95%, while manual processing has been reduced by 90%. Pie also refines reserve management, using AI-driven insights to adjust funds with over 80% accuracy, minimizing financial risk while keeping businesses secure.
“Integrating AWS’s advanced AI and data infrastructure enables us to scale intelligent decision-making across our entire ecosystem, especially within our Pie artificial intelligence tools,” said Zachary Martinez, CEO of Payarc. “From predictive churn analytics to real-time risk assessment, Pie is designed to help businesses operate with greater precision, efficiency, and confidence at every stage of the payment process.”

AWS Glue structures and prepares data for precision, while Amazon S3 and Amazon QuickSight provide instant access to insights, empowering merchants, ISOs, and agents to make informed decisions quicker. Amazon Q enhances this system with conversational AI, helping users detect anomalies and uncover key insights in real time.
Beyond efficiency, this collaboration prioritizes transparency and fairness in AI-driven decision-making. Amazon SageMaker Clarify helps mitigate bias in fraud detection and pricing models, ensuring more accurate and equitable outcomes. With intuitive reporting and AI-powered insights, Payarc is working with AWS to not only to drive payment innovation but also reinforce trust, security, and ethical AI use in the industry.
