Just in Time for the Holidays, NetSecure Announces Free Kudos Mobile Credit Card Terminals for Non-Profits and Charities

REGINA, Canada--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NetSecure Payments Inc, leading developer of secure payment solutions, announces the Kudos credit card acceptance kit will be given away free to eligible non-profits and charities in the United States and Canada starting today. This promotion, available to those who provide proof of non-profit status, is designed to give these organizations an added donation method in the hope of encouraging extra giving this holiday season.

“We came up with the free giveaway after a local charity stopped by the office to collect donations and many of our employees did not have cash or checks”

The Kudos credit card acceptance kit is an ideal solution for charities seeking donations via credit card. The free plug-in swipe terminal for smartphones and connected tablets allows an individual to take payments from anywhere with ease and convenience. With a free app download and an approved free merchant account, Kudos users are ready to accept donations in the office, on the street, or anywhere they are soliciting contributions. With Kudos, one quick swipe and a signature is all it takes to give this year.

“We came up with the free giveaway after a local charity stopped by the office to collect donations and many of our employees did not have cash or checks,” explains Gene Schenberg, Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “Non-profits and charities now have an affordable, secure method that accommodates their mobile efforts, maximizes holiday giving, and helps capitalize on missed donation opportunities.”

Kudos works with Android, iOS, and BlackBerry devices. It utilizes superior security technology with full end-to-end encryption to keep all sensitive information private. The only fees accrued are for the transactions themselves, billed at an affordable flat rate with no monthly or ongoing fees. That means users are only charged when they use it, so there are no surprises. In addition, Kudos comes with a free full-service merchant account that provides professional features such as reporting and statements at no cost. Donors can even have receipts emailed or texted on the spot for their tax records.

Charitable organizations and non-profits can send in their request at www.KudosPayments.com/charity. This offer will end December 31, 2011 or until inventory runs out. Only eligible non-profits and charities can apply. The offer is valid for non-profit organizations in both the US and Canada only.

For US businesses that are interested in Kudos but ineligible for the giveaway, Office Depot offers Kudos at a discounted price of $79.99 at locations across the U.S. and www.officedepot.com. Canadian small business can purchase a terminal at www.kudospayments.ca.
