Our Story

​Hi! Jacky Figueroa here. Let me give you a little backstory of how MERCHANT SOCIAL came to be!

 

It was December of 2023, I was frustrated, tired and accumulating DEBT with a SIDE HUSTLE that wasn’t really SIDE HUSTLING!

 

For the past 20+ Years I’ve worked for my family’s restaurant and as a commercial ACTOR in the entertainment industry. The restaurant pays well but it's not something I am passionate about.

 

Acting DOESN’T pay consistently but I LOVE it! And to be HONEST, I’ve always felt like there was something BIGGER and BETTER out there, I just NEEDED to find it!

 

Something that not only made me MONEY but that also made me feel like I was a part of something BIGGER. I had no idea what I was searching for so... I tried it ALL! I was a serial SIDE HUSTLER trying to find the PERFECT side hustle!

 

And along came an opportunity to start a Credit Card side hustle. I tried it and was quickly consumed by it all. It combined my passion for helping people and helping small businesses, from there MERCHANT SOCIAL was born.

 

I wanted to be able to make a bigger impact. I wanted to open up the conversation. So many small businesses are throwing away hundreds and thousand of dollars a month without knowing they have an option. There is an OPTION! And I am here to HELP!
