Visit One Connect Processing

This Portland, Oregon based company offers merchant and payment processing services for a wide array of industries and businesses.  While company information is not available for the public, on One Connect Processing’s website, it states it operates off of a fair pricing structure, with high levels of security, unparalleled customer support, and an innovative mindset to keep up with modern businesses.

One Connect Processing Overview

 

Their website does not provide any information regarding when the business first started, its ownership, or history for public consumption. One Connect Processing does not focus on a particular industry. Upon reviewing the pricing model and structure, One Connect Processing's model looks expensive and restricting and is not considered competitive within its industry. Based on reviews from the BBB and Google Reviews, most merchant complaints describe that it outsources their information to Merchant Solutions. This company's consensus is unfavorable, as it appears to be known for hidden fees, misrepresented/higher fees than initially discussed, aggressive telemarketing, and difficulty canceling services.

One Connect Processing Advertising & Sales

 
The official website does not outline the types of advertising and sales tactics that it uses. Based on Google Reviews and BBB reviews, the company appears to use outbound telemarketing and independent sales agents. Upon further study, this advertising and sales structure is linked to many complaints, and complaints mention persistent telephone calls, misrepresented rates, and undisclosed fees.  Furthermore, 2 out of 5 complaints are advertising/sales related.

Additionally, the standard sales pitch complaint brought to light is the: pay 0% for debit, 1% for credit, and $79 a month. One Connect fails to mention several undisclosed fees and the $79 per month, 4-year, non-cancellable lease.
