Our
Story
Konect was founded because we believe there’s a better way to do business — one that’s fully focused on the needs of our customers and our people.
We’re passionate about payments, with over 30 years of leadership experience at some of the world’s largest payment companies. We always take the time to truly understand your business and work with you to find the right solution. Unlike most mainstream payments companies, Konect will never recommend a solution that isn’t right for your business just to meet sales targets.
Payments is a fragmented and complex industry, and it can be extremely difficult for businesses to understand the capabilities of each provider and make informed decisions about who to trust.
Konect is focused on making business simpler and more connected. Our mission is to bring the world of payments to your fingertips, enabling you to quickly compare providers and find the best solution at the best possible price. We’re working towards B Corp certification and will donate at least 1% of our profits to environmental and community improvement causes.
We hope you feel the same way, and we look forward to working with you — as a customer or a future member of our team.
