NetSecure Payments’ Kudos Available for the First Time in the United States
Atlanta, GA – October 19, 2011 – NetSecure Payments Inc, leading developer of security solutions for the eCommerce industry, announces the Kudos credit card acceptance kit is available for the first time in the United States. Available at Office Depot stores nationwide, Kudos allows small business merchants to accept credit card payments on the spot via desktops, laptops, tablets and smartphones (iOS, Android and Blackberry).
Over half of all transactions today are plastic, yet there are more than 20 million micro-businesses that do not accept credit and debit card payments because of high upfront costs, monthly fees and complex contracts. Payment processing services designed for larger merchants put cash-conscious small businesses at a competitive disadvantage.
“Terminals and merchant accounts are cost-prohibitive for small and micro businesses,” said Daniel McCann, president and founder of NetSecure Payments. “Small merchants like electricians, taxi drivers, home-based businesses, and even Girl Scouts need the flexibility to accept all forms of payment. By allowing merchants to use what they already have – their phones and computers – as their payment terminals, Kudos provides these merchants what they need to stay competitive, at a fraction of the cost of traditional offerings.”
The Kudos credit card acceptance kit serves as a complete ‘point of sale in a box.’ Equipped with a swipe terminal, POS software and a merchant account, users can begin accepting credit card payments for a flat rate of 2.7 percent plus $0.20 per transaction, with no monthly or ongoing fees.
“Other products post a low rate and mark everything up with hidden fees and surcharges, but Kudos offers all-inclusive, flat-rate pricing, so you always know what you’re being charged,” added McCann.
Unlike competitors in the market, Kudos has no limitations on the transaction amounts, boasts compatibility with BlackBerry, and includes a full-service merchant account, providing access to professional features such as reporting and statements, all free of charge. Above all, Kudos is secure, offering full end-to-end encryption.
“Encryption ensures the merchant never sees the customer credit card number, so even the smallest vendor can rest assured they are meeting payment card industry standards,” says McCann.
Kudos is an ideal solution for small business owners and independent professionals, including contractors, consultants, day care providers, repair services, massage therapists, personal trainers, photographers, service employees, tradeshow and event organizers, landscapers and more.
Kudos is available for $99.99 at www.KudosPayments.com. Office Depot is offering Kudos at a discounted price of $79.99 at locations across the U.S. and www.officedepot.com. Kudos is also available in Canada at www.kudospayments.ca.
