About

We are PayNetWorx

Welcome To The Future Of Payments

We’re a payments processor. So, uh, merchants have gone to a global look, there’s not a processor out there that has a global advantage. So that was the problem that we started to solve. The other one was agents, sales agents in our industry don’t get paid for like 60 days. So we built a system where we could pay them daily if we wanted to. We built a platform that is completely cloud-based and it handles every currency they want in one platform. They love it. Uh, the markets told us we did something right, because, uh, sales are good. If you’re gonna become a market disruptor, you have to have a really tough skin. Competitors definitely don’t want you around, the status quo in the industry don’t want to change. And all the people that say you can’t do it that way; you just have to say, oh yeah, we are. We’ll just blow past them.
