       Risk Factors
       Risks Relating to Paya   s Business
       "We rely on bank sponsors . . .", page 30

   1.                                                   We note your response
to comment 4, including the following:

                                                        "Although the Company
does not believe that Paya is substantially dependent on any of
                                                        these contracts, it
does feel it is appropriate to highlight the discretion available to the
                                                        bank sponsors in these
contracts and the possibility that the termination of a sponsorship
                                                        could have an adverse
impact on the Company   s business due to the need to transition

         services to an alternative provider. If any of these contracts were
terminated, the Company
         believes it would be able to enter into alternative arrangements,
although the Company
         may not be able to procure terms of an equal or more advantageous
nature. Additionally,
         each of these contracts have wind down and de-conversion periods,
which the Company
         believes would allow sufficient time for the Company to replace any of
the
         aforementioned sponsors during such de-conversion periods. The Company
is unable to
         predict with any certainty which terms might change in such
alternative arrangements."

         To provide investors with context regarding the importance of these
agreements to Paya,
         please amend your disclosure to include the substance of your
response, quoted above.
