​​Our History

In January of 2009, Robert Day, our co-founder and managing partner, decided it was time to walk away from a lucrative 11-year career as a successful commercial banking executive.  He had specialized in merchant processing and, more specifically, interchange management and had been honored with the prestigious “President’s Leadership Award” just 13 months before. It was a time when life was good and he did not have a care in the world; he was at the top of his game.


There was, however, one problem. The economy was collapsing. Gas had just hit over $4.00 a gallon. Bankruptcies and foreclosures were on the rise. Things were bad and getting worse every day, not just for the overall economy, but for his friends that had lost their jobs as companies were going under. It’s tough to enjoy your plush life when your friends are suffering.

   

One day, he was sharing with a co-worker about his overall frustration and the growing complexity of merchant processing and how the fees were killing businesses. It was that same co-worker who gets the credit for what came next...the birth of Merchant Relief Council (dba weAudit.com). He told Robert, “You are never going to be happy doing this job. It’s just not in you. You need to get on the other side and help merchants.” Soon after, Robert went to his boss and said it was time to move on.
 
He went home and told his family, “Get ready for some drastic changes. It’s time to go from being part of the problem to becoming part of the solution!”

   

Today, weAudit.com is the # 1 credit card processing auditing firm with offices in Missouri, Colorado, and Dublin (Ireland). In October of 2019 weAudit.com was just given the prestigious Torch Award from the Better Business Bureau in the St. Louis region for exceptional standards for ethical business practices and service to their customers, employees, suppliers, and communities.

The Heart Of Our Story

Our Managing Partner Robert Day, while attending various events, is often asked what he does. He always replies the same way every time: "I save families." His wife, with a tone of incredulity, quickly replies, "No, he doesn't." "But wait, yes, I do!" He says. "If you will give me just a minute, I will connect the dots". 


Money is the number one reason for divorce. When we save a company's money, we do more than increase their profits. We save a job, and when we save that job, we prevent a parent from having to tell their family that they no longer have employment.


When he was 9 years old, Robert's parents called him into a room where his other four siblings had already gathered, and he remembers everyone crying. They said, "Daddy is moving out, so you need to decide who you want to live with."


For us, it is way more than just saving companies money. It's about making a difference in people's lives. I think once you get to know us, you will see a passion that goes well beyond a calculator. We love protecting those who can't protect themselves, whether it is a business or the helpless children of the world. At the bottom of this page, you will find a few of the organizations we support. If you can, please consider helping those in need.
