NoblePay Products & Services

 

Hardware and Software

NoblePay works as a distributor for Clover and Harbortouch, however, they do not offer any sort of list to give merchants a choice in their terminal needs. There is a reference in their literature to equipment coming fully loaded with the software to be up and running quickly.

iPhone and Android adaptive devices for mobile payments are also given their dropdown menu on the company website, but all attempts to learn more about the product and their OS interface directs the potential client to an in-person call with Chris.

Virtual terminals are available for mobile businesses and it appears NoblePay offers software to integrate with a merchant’s existing website. There is not much information on the company website to expand on this.

Value-Added Services

They do offer several services beyond credit card processing and eCheck acceptance, all related to the processing industry:

Customer Vault - for data security
Billing and Payment Plans - for business ease
Electronic Invoicing - for online billing

There is also reference to partnering with Rapid Advance, whether this partnership is a value-added service cash advance or a separate business lender is not made clear.

Supported Payment Types and Services

It appears NoblePay accepts a wide range of payment types:

Visa
Mastercard
Discover
American Express
eCheck Cashing
Apple Pay
Google Pay
EMV

NoblePay Advertising & Sales

 
It appears NoblePay keeps their sales team in-house and avoids independent contractors. However, this does not always prevent sales from being the focal point of consumer reviews.

There is very little information on the company website. They seem to tease potential clients with potential services but rely on the customer making contact before revealing any real information.

NoblePay Pricing, Rates & Fees

 

There is no information on the website listing any sort of pricing and fees beyond the cash discount fee of $25 per month. With this arrangement, there are no contracts beyond a month-to-month agreement, and the merchant is given a free terminal.

With this cash discount program, the 4% processing fee is passed on to the merchant’s customers.

Reviews are referring to early termination fees, which leads to the conclusion that NoblePay uses contracts of some length.

Gateway use generally comes with fees that are added on top of contract fees.

NoblePay Setup & Support

 

There are several claims that NoblePay offers a free POS terminal with different plans. There are no further references to the details of this free terminal and if it is truly free.

Because there are no details on specific equipment, it cannot be determined what the setup time might be. Depending on what the merchant purchases, it can safely be said that the credit card processing should be up and running somewhere between 1 and 14 days. Many phone app payment processors can be operating in a matter of minutes.

However, none of this takes into account the underwriting process that needs to happen on the back end of the credit card processing business. That can take several days on its own.

The company website offers a login for merchants and an 800 number. Whether there is more customer or tech support once a member is logged in is undetermined at this time.
