Veteran-Owned · Brevard County
A Marine and an Industry Veteran. Built for Brevard.
SpaceCoast Payments was founded on a simple idea: Brevard County businesses deserve a local payments partner who shows up, tells the truth, and stays after the sale.
Our Story
How SpaceCoast Payments Got Started
Most payment processing companies follow the same playbook: sign the merchant, hand them off to a support department, and move on to the next deal. If something breaks, there is a 1-800 number and a long hold time. If rates get raised, the merchant may not find out until it appears deep inside a statement.
We started SpaceCoast Payments because we watched that happen to real businesses here in Brevard County—and knew it could be done better.
Together, we combine real-world industry expertise with the accountability and local presence that large processors cannot offer. We are not a call center or a sales pitch. We are two people who decided to build merchant services the right way.
The People Behind the Company
Local Experience. Direct Accountability.
No middle management. No overseas support desk. When you work with SpaceCoast Payments, you work with us directly.
Ron Hunter DeLoach
Founder · United States Marine Corps Veteran
Ron served eight years in the United States Marine Corps, including a deployment to Iraq. The military teaches lessons no business school can: follow through, do not leave anyone behind, and show up when it matters—not only when it is convenient.
Ron reviews statements, helps install systems, and answers the phone when a merchant needs support. He built this company on the same values that defined his military service.
Elrick Van Eck
Operations · Merchant Services Industry Veteran
Elrick brings nearly a decade of hands-on payment-processing experience. He has worked directly with processors, POS providers, and hardware partners from every angle of the business.
He currently services close to 60 merchants across Brevard County and West Palm Beach. His industry relationships give SpaceCoast Payments the flexibility to recommend the right solution instead of pushing one provider.
Our Operating Principles
The Principles We Built This Business On
These are not aspirational statements. Every merchant relationship and recommendation runs through them first.
Show Up
When a terminal is down or a deposit is missing, local means being available and taking ownership of the problem.
Tell the Truth
If we cannot improve your current setup, we will say so. Long-term trust matters more than closing a bad deal.
Stay After the Sale
The sale is the beginning of the relationship. Merchants keep our direct number and are never handed off and forgotten.
Make It Simple
Every fee, rate, and recommendation should be explained in plain language. No fine print and no surprises.
Protect Your Interest
We match each business with the right processing and POS solution, even when it is not the highest-margin option for us.
Build for the Long Term
Our business grows when merchants remain successful and satisfied. That keeps our incentives aligned with yours.
The Difference
A Real Local Partner, Not Another Account Number
The Typical Processor
Rotating support representatives, long hold times, confusing statements, surprise rate changes, and little accountability after the contract is signed.
SpaceCoast Payments
Direct local contacts, transparent interchange-plus pricing, free installation and training, and ongoing support from people who know your business.
