I used this payment processor in utah in the early 2010s at Jamba Juices and a few other random places. It was pretty sweet but its name was Isis and that was right around the time Isis started becoming big and I believe they ended up dying off.




Typically, when I see a company changing names, I tend to think they've fucked up something so badly in the past that they hope a name change will remove that stinnk. When you see a name change like this, you're like "yup, good move. hope you did it fast enough!"

Avoiding the Isis name was even enough to change the story line for the animated show Archer.
