Origin Story

Committed to each other, and to the merchants we serve, the KIS Payments team believes in doing what is right for the customer—all the time. Top of the line merchant services you can trust!

 

It’s this foundational value that has attracted top agents to our team and encouraged merchants from all across Canada to enjoy the benefits of switching to KIS Payments.

The KIS Payments Team

KIS Payments was formed when a few colleagues working in the payment processing industry—Michael, Jenn and Rick—recognized that Canadian businesses owners were being overcharged and under-assisted in their merchant services. Businesses were demanding simple payments and clear value in their payment processing, and so that’s what the KIS Payments founders set out to deliver!

We believe that every client...

  • Deserves to have their own Personal Payment Advisor.
  • Should only be charged based on a fully transparent interchange-plus pricing model.
  • Shouldn’t have to endure price increases for the processing of credit card payments.
  • Deserves to have up-to-date terminals, industry-leading technology, and other options that best fit their business.
  • Shouldn’t be tied down by obligations that could potentially hurt them and their business, such as cancellation fees.
  • Should be able to trust their payment processor and merchant services provided.

We worked with Tasha, for the most part, in the set-up of our Online Store. She was terrific! Very knowledgeable, responsive and personable. We had some concerns about shipping costs. Tasha, researched them, and explained everything, to our satisfaction. Our Online Store looks great, and the shopping experience is perfect! Thank You Tasha and the Team at KIS Payments!

Recently I spoke to one of your company’s representative Jennifer Belik. I wanted to send you a quick note to let you know how impressed I am with her services. Jennifer has helped me tremendously in understanding the concept behind merchant services and how it relates to small business operations… She is very patient and her customer services skills are impeccable.

Previously, the only times I had to call for help (from a previous processor) it was quite a process – sit on the phone, wait for someone to help me, even with simple processes. With KIS even when setting up the machine, called the local help line and got the local rep. Martin was local and came right out to help. I have recommended KIS to other businesses and continue to do so.

We chose KIS because of Rick, came in person, got to talk about it, do everything in person. Better process than talking to other merchants. I have already referred KIS to half a dozen businesses in town.

We have known Martin for a number of years and found him to be a pleasant and efficient to deal with. The switch over to a different credit card provider went smoothly and without any downtime thanks to his expertise. I would highly recommend his services. I also appreciate that Martin is local and available in person if required.

It was Rick, Rick is very good. He’s a hands on person. He comes on it, if I have a problem, he’s here in a day or two. That’s a big thing here on the West Coast, be able to come out here, see your customers and that personal touch. I am a big huge loyalty person, so that’s why I’ve stuck with him. I have already recommended KIS to other businesses and continue to do so.

I was really excited to have a local company to support. Its always really nice to be able to do business with someone you meet in person instead of just talking to someone at a call centre. I would recommend KIS to other businesses, and I have here locally. Keep it Local!
