David Hughes

Founder and CEO

A Savannah native, David’s passion for payment solutions began during his college years. Equipped with a degree in economics from the University of South Carolina, he honed his sales and business acumen through prior experience in the beverage distribution industry.

This experience, coupled with his proven success as a Relationship Manager for a Fortune 500 payment processing company, positions David to deliver exceptional value to our clients.

Driven by Integrity

Witnessing unethical fee hikes imposed on his clients by his previous employer, David decided to take a stand. In 2020, he opened First City Payments, vowing to prioritize client relationships and ensure transparent pricing.
