True Blue Pay Overview

 

True Blue Pay was established over twenty years ago to develop a technologically integrated payment processor. In the past two decades, they have made it their goal to remain on that cutting edge and offer the highest level to their customers.

They provide the front end of the credit card processing system and work with some of the largest merchant account providers on the back end.

The goal is to provide a seamless and secure gateway to every merchant they work with. By focusing on mobile and brick-and-mortar operating systems, they have been able to create a product that offers above industry standard processing to their clients.

Despite being in business for over twenty years, there is no information to be found on them anywhere. They do not have a Better Business Bureau profile or rating and there are no company reviews to be found anywhere online.

True Blue Pay Products & Services

 

Hardware and Software

True Blue does offer a single EMV/swipe card option. They don’t offer any variety in this department to suit different business levels and needs.

With their integrated software and payment options, they focus most of their efforts on streamlining the virtual terminal instead of actual payment terminals.

True Blue Pay Advertising & Sales

 
There is no mention on their website as to the types of marketing they employ.

It appears they rely on their partners for a portion of their advertising. The list of other companies they work with, both merchant account providers and front-end integrated partners, is extensive.

There is no link on their website to careers. This prevents the assumption of marketing type based on their employee needs.

True Blue Pay Pricing, Rates & Fees

 

There are no prices listed on their website. When compared to other payment aggregators like Square, Stripe, and PayPal, it can be assumed that True Blue Payments charges a set rate per transaction.

True Blue Pay Contract & Terms

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.

True Blue Pay Setup & Support

 

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.
