PayHub Payments Overview

 

PayHub Payments is a full service merchant account provider that caters to a large array of industries from small and medium businesses, to large multi-location merchants.  

PayHub Payments is a registered ISO under First Data.  They also have a partnership with CardFellow, a marketplace that gives certified quotes for prospective merchants interested in PayHub Payments.

They claim to serve every type of business, large and small. It does not explicitly state that they provide solutions for high-risk merchants, so it appears they specialize in low-to-mid-risk businesses. However, they may be able to accommodate certain high-risk accounts.

PayHub Payments emphasizes high quality customer service to all merchants (regardless of size), next day deposits, and fair & transparent pricing.

In addition, PayHub Payments also has a partnership program.

PayHub Payments Advertising & Sales

 
PayHub Payments is generally considered to be truthful & ethical in their marketing, advertising & sales practices. They do employ independent sales agents, which can be a red-flag that you are dealing with an individual more concerned with closing deals and obtaining commissions than representing the company ethically.  However, no public complaints exist regarding this issue.

PayHub Payments advertises their pricing on their website and claims to have “transparent, simple pricing.” They claim to have no hidden fees: outside of a monthly fee, no additional fees are mentioned on their website.  Due to the lack of customer complaints, it can be assumed that their customers are satisfied with the rates and fees they offer.
