About Kibopay
Kibopay markets merchant accounts, mainly promoting a surcharge pricing model, also known as “dual pricing” or “cash discount” pricing. This model shifts credit card transaction fees to customers, eliminating processing costs for businesses. We’ll explore the pricing and risks associated with Kibopay’s surcharge model later in this article.
Relationship with Merchant Lynx
Evidence suggest Kibopay resells services for Merchant Lynx, which would mean businesses receive payment processing through Paysafe. Both Paysafe and Merchant Lynx have numerous complaints about service quality and customer support. Although unconfirmed, online reviews from unhappy customers claim Kibopay is partnered with Merchant Lynx.
Evidence Supporting Reseller Theory
Further evidence supporting this reseller theory includes:
- Kibopay is not listed on Visa’s approved service provider registry.
- The company doesn’t disclose its processing bank on its website, unlike standard industry practice.
Affiliated Businesses
Kibopay’s founders also operate a merchant cash advance business, Cash Bouy, Inc. Other affiliated entities include:
- Kibo Cash
- Kibo Merchant Solutions
- Kibo Pay
Unrelated Entity
Note that Kibo Commerce, a similarly named company, appears unrelated to Kibopay or its founders.
