There are no listed contracts or terms to be found on the company website.
They do advertise being able to work with any business, regardless of size or risk level. The lack of contract disclosure is most likely because each contract needs to be specific to the business.
Terms and rates are most likely negotiated with the contract when the contract is signed.
Contract Length
Early Termination Fee
True Blue Payments states there is minimal application and setup time required to get the merchant to accept payments.
This is most likely about using their online payment app and software. There would be a delivery wait period for the arrival of the hardware. This can often take 7-14 days depending on the delivery service.
The website offers the industry-standard telephone number and email address to cover customer and tech support.
There is no indication of available hours and this could be problematic as it looks like their offices are either in Western Canada or in Australia.
