## Proof that better payments are possible!

I have recently started using Forwardly, I am finding it easy to use. The customer service is great! Aaron has helped me so much. Excellent customer service, and the pricing is fair. Currently, I will be using Forwardly to collect client payments. In the future, I plan on using other areas. My reasons for switching to Forwardly were the cost of processing payments, and I like the setup with Forwardly better. As my business grows, I can do a lot in Forwardly.

Finally a payment platform that is great to use and doesn't sit on our hard earned cash for days, even weeks, on end. Maybe Forwardly can help kick-start the US banking system into actually supporting their customers and their businesses.

Prompt with all support concerns, and the service has been good. The fees are more than acceptable compared to other services. Initial setup seems to take a bit of time, but it was all in the name of security, so it’s not really a con. The auto payment feature was the selling point.
