Oracle Merchant Services, a Michigan-based merchant services and financial technology company, is making a bold move on two fronts simultaneously — announcing the launch of a South American headquarters in Bogotá, Colombia and a scholarship initiative with a funding target exceeding $750,000. The dual announcement marks a significant milestone for the Sterling Heights company, which has spent the past several years building the infrastructure and partnerships needed to support growth at a national and international scale.
“We have always believed that sustainable growth starts with the right foundation,” said Arti Ali, Chief Executive Officer of Oracle Merchant Services. “The Bogotá hub and the scholarship initiative are both expressions of that philosophy — we are investing in infrastructure and in people, because both are essential to building something that lasts.”
“Expansion into South America is not a pivot — it is the next logical step in a strategy we have been executing deliberately for several years,” said Travis Roque Soto, Global Strategic Director. “Bogotá gives us proximity to some of the fastest-growing markets in the world, and the infrastructure we are building there will serve the company for decades.”
The South American headquarters is scheduled to launch in early 2027, positioning the company to better serve emerging markets while strengthening its international presence.
The scholarship program will be developed in active collaboration with chambers of commerce across multiple states, ensuring broad geographic reach and community accessibility. Administration will be managed through the Kaleidoscope Scholarship Foundation, a structured platform with established processes for managing and distributing educational funding at scale. Applications and eligibility details will be announced through Oracle Merchant Services’ official channels and participating chamber networks.
