50+ Years of Expertise in POS & Payment Solutions

We help restaurants, retailers, and events across the country process payments faster, reduce costs, and eliminate POS headaches.

Our Story

Who We Are

American Metro has been in the business of making payments simple for over 50 years. What started as a local operation in the Twin Cities has grown into a nationwide provider of POS systems, payment processing, and event rental solutions.

Every time we work with a new event, we can help make them more profitable. We firmly believe in the win/win relationship. If we help someone have a better business or run a better event, it will help us grow our business as well.

We discovered a long time ago that one person telling others about a great experience they had with us, is better than any 60 second super-bowl ad. (except maybe the one with Mean Joe Green throwing his Jersey to the little boy).

We've built our reputation on one simple belief: you deserve to know exactly what you're paying for—and you deserve real support when something goes wrong.

"We don't just sell equipment—we install, train, and support you long-term. That's what 50+ years in this industry looks like."

Today, we serve restaurants, retail stores, liquor stores, festivals, conventions, and large-scale events across the United States. Big-name clients like Vera Bradley and Zumba Fitness trust us for mission-critical event deployments nationwide.

Why We're Different

What You Get with American Metro

Companies like Square or Toast can't match us operationally. We've been doing this for over 50 years—and it shows.

✓
50+ Years of Real-World Expertise

We've installed, supported, and repaired more POS systems than most companies have sold. That experience is on your side.

✓
Nationwide Event Capability

We can ship, deploy, and support a full POS operation anywhere in the U.S.—something most local competitors simply can't do.

✓
True Transparency on Pricing

We show you your real effective rate, every hidden fee, and exactly how much you could save. No surprises.

✓
Long-Term Support, Not a One-Time Sale

We install, train, and support your team long after the sale. Our clients stay with us for years—that's not an accident.

✓
Family Owned & Operated

We're not a faceless corporation. We're a family business that takes pride in every client relationship we build.
