Credorax’s alliance with payworks is a major leap forward in solving the critical issues for this target market,” said Benny Nachman, CEO of Credorax. “Receiving each payment quickly is crucial for small merchants as they rely heavily on a high volume of transactions in order to profit.  One of Credorax’s most significant contributions in the Mobile POS process is the ability to fast-track these payments by providing merchants with a fully digital automated and interactive onboarding process that can take place in a matter of hours.”
