North Payments

You didn't start your business to spend a Tuesday on the phone with tech support.

But that's a lot of payment setups. The hardware won't talk to your POS. It doesn't sync with the tools you already use. And now someone's telling you that you need a developer just to accept a payment.
Setup shouldn't be the hard part. The right system works with your POS out of the box and has you taking payments the same day.

If getting paid was this hard to set up, it might not be you. It might be the system.

North gets you live fast, with real people to walk you through it.

Payments friction quietly drains small business margins, often without being noticed.
It shows up in small moments that add up over time, from checkout issues to reconciliation headaches.

Here’s what it actually looks like in practice.

Almost 7 out of 10 online shoppers fill a cart and then … vanish.

The number one reason? Surprise costs popping up at checkout. Nearly half of shoppers bail when the total isn't what they expected.

The fix is less exciting than you'd hope: Be upfront about pricing, keep checkout short, and offer the payment methods people actually want to use.

🌍 Earth Day 2026: Turning commitments into action

Over the past year, our teams have made meaningful progress:
- Implementing a successful recycling program in our Ireland office
- Eliminating foam from packaging to reduce environmental impact

Beyond internal action, we’re supporting global and local change through partnerships with organizations like Earth Day Network and Friends of the Earth, connecting our strategy with tangible impact.

As Kari Lawry, our Chief People Officer, says: “Sustainability is rooted in our people. Earth Day is a time to celebrate progress, but it also reminds us our work is ongoing.”

This Earth Day, we celebrate what we’ve achieved and focus on what comes next. Together, we’re making environmental responsibility a lasting part of North.
