## Reviews

### "Perfect payments with Pinch" — 5.0/5

> **Andrew** | *10 April 2026* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: What drew me to Pinch originally is their flexibility through the API to connect our internal CRM to their payment platform to create a seamless experience for our customers. We've been with Pinch now for more than 6 years and I continue to recommend them to businesses looking for payment solutions for their business
> 
> **Cons**: Their support during a migration for a client was a bit clunky and communication could have been better. I saw it at the time as more of a person than a business issue. To their credit they've since addressed the challenge and migrations since then have been well communicated and managed
> 
> Overall they are fantastic. Love working with the team and will continue to recommend them highly to my clients

Low fees, fantastic integration with Xero and the team are always happy to help and look at implementing suggested feature updates.
> 
> **Cons**: Nothing - it's been amazing and if they keep up the level of support and it continues the way it has been, I wont be changing platforms\!
> 
> Wonderful\! The platform just works. No ifs, buts, ands or maybes. Its Australian Banking compliant, integrates seamlessly and both the company and customer portals are easy to use and navigate.
