CHICAGO, PRNewswire- KORE Payments, a versatile 'no strings attached' merchant services provider based in Sheboygan, WI is innovating amid the coronavirus pandemic by waiving all merchant fees and continuing to offer smart online, curbside, and remote checkout solutions for businesses. KORE Payments' CEO has over a decade of payments experience and launched KORE after successfully launching and running previous payment portfolios that processed over $1 billion in transaction volume and employed over 30 full-time W-2 employees as well as many more 1099 contractors. He says, "For the KORE team, COVID-19 is not an obstacle, but rather an opportunity to fine-tune and revise what was working and improve on all our current systems. At KORE, we have risen to answer the call and will continue to support our customers." With the recent expansion to the Equitable building in downtown Chicago, IL on Michigan Avenue, KORE is continuing its early rapid growth since its inception just 2-years ago. "Our Downtown Chicago, IL office expansion is going to allow us to attract and recruit very talented individuals with a wide range of skill sets. It was necessary to continue to achieve our level of scale and growth,". KORE Payments has incredible customer loyalty as a direct product of their world-class solutions and services. With KORE, you can cancel at any time because they never offer long-term commitments. KORE believes in earning your business every day, and therefore charges no cancellation or early termination fees. KORE Payments also guarantees to match or beat any competing offer, as long as the offer is for the same products and terms.
What Makes KORE Great
Free Yourself From Contracts And Termination Fees
Unlike other payment processors, KORE won’t lock you into a long-term contract. Our incredible customer loyalty is a product of world-class products and services. With KORE, you can cancel at any time. No long-term commitments. No cancellation fees. No early termination fees. Just another fantastic reason to give KORE a try.
Our Low Price Guarantee
Our premier pricing structure and commitment to the highest quality customer care give our customers the best value in credit card payment services. We guarantee to match or beat any competing price as long as the offer is for the same products and terms as our original offer.
The Ethical Payment Processor
Is your payment processor leasing you your equipment? Processors that lease their equipment expose their customers to higher costs, extraneous terms, high liability, and risk. With KORE, you’ll get no run-around, just honest, straightforward business.
