We built Clearo because the payment processing industry earned its bad reputation
Unclear pricing. Buried fees. Support that puts you on hold for 40 minutes. We knew there was a better way because we spent years inside the industry that created the problem.
Our story
Clearo started with a simple observation: most businesses overpay for payment processing, and most of them don't know it.
Not because they're careless. Because the industry is designed to be confusing. Processors bundle interchange fees into opaque rate structures. Sales reps quote one number and your statement shows another. And when you call for help, you wait on hold until you give up.
We built Clearo to do it differently. Transparent interchange-plus pricing that shows you exactly what you're paying. A dedicated rep for every client — someone who knows your business, not someone reading from a script. No long-term contracts and no cancellation fees, because we believe in earning your business every month.
Today, more than 3,000 merchants across the U.S. and Canada trust Clearo to process over $4 billion annually. We work with restaurants, retail stores, auto dealerships, medical practices, professional services firms, and everything in between.
We're not the biggest processor. We're the one that actually picks up the phone.
