CHARLOTTETOWN, PE, July 17, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- SpryPoint, a trusted technology partner for utilities across North America, announced today that Kevin Gallagher has joined the company as Vice President of Payments. Gallagher brings nearly 30 years of experience building and scaling payments businesses to lead SpryWallet, SpryPoint's fully integrated utility payments platform.

Gallagher's arrival underscores SpryPoint's continued investment in payments as a core pillar of its integrated utility software platform. As Vice President of Payments, he will lead the strategy, growth, and operational execution of SpryWallet, working directly with utilities to embed secure, real-time payment options into the core of their customer experience while reducing the operational burden on utility staff.

Gallagher joins SpryPoint after nearly three decades building and scaling payments businesses across the fintech and SaaS industries. Most recently, he served as Global Head of Payments and Embedded Financial Services at EverCommerce, a leading vertical SaaS platform serving more than 500,000 service-based businesses.

He currently serves on the board of directors of the TAG FinTech Steering Committee and holds a BBA from Georgia State University's J. Mack Robinson College of Business and an MBA from Kennesaw State University.

"Payments are central to how utilities serve their customers, and Kevin brings a rare combination of deep payments expertise and a proven track record of building best-in-class payments businesses at scale," said Kyle Strang, CEO and Co-Founder of SpryPoint. "His experience building and scaling embedded payments across multiple vertical SaaS platforms is exactly what we need as we grow SpryWallet into the payments layer of choice for utilities across North America."

"Utilities are at an inflection point where embedded payments can meaningfully improve both the customer experience and back-office efficiency," said Gallagher. "I'm excited to join SpryPoint and build on the strong foundation the team has already established with SpryWallet, and to bring the discipline of building payments businesses at scale to a platform with this much runway."

Gallagher joins SpryPoint as SpryWallet continues to gain momentum with utilities across the Americas, following the platform's recent launch and its seamless, native integration with SpryCIS and SpryEngage.
