KORT Payments and Paythings Transform Cash Handling for Retailers in Canada

In the ever-evolving retail landscape, managing cash effectively remains a crucial yet challenging task for many businesses. Traditional cash handling methods are often slow and inefficient, leading to operational bottlenecks. KORT Payments, a prominent omnichannel payments provider, has joined forces with Paythings, an innovative AI-driven cash operations platform, to modernize how cash is managed in the retail sector across Canada.

The Partnership

On May 28, 2026, KORT Payments announced a strategic partnership with Paythings, unveiling a robust solution aimed at enhancing cash management processes. This collaboration integrates the smart safe technology of Paythings with KORT's comprehensive payment solutions, providing retailers with a streamlined way to manage their cash flow effectively.

Challenges of Manual Cash Handling

Historically, cash handling has been fraught with challenges. From labor-intensive manual processes to delayed access to funds, inefficiencies can lead to increased operational costs and reduced profitability. Many retailers still rely on outdated systems, resulting in lost time and potential errors during cash handling.

The Smart Safe Solution

Paythings addresses these issues head-on with its cutting-edge smart safe technology. By capturing cash upon deposit, these smart safes store funds securely while instantly updating the cloud platform. Retailers benefit from visibility into their cash flow in real-time, with access to funds typically available by the next business day. This method not only enhances security but also ensures that cash flow remains uninterrupted.

Transforming Retail Operations

Retailers using the Paythings platform usually experience substantial improvements including:

• - 85-90% Reduction in Cash Float: With quicker access to cash deposits, retailers can drastically reduce the amount of cash they need to keep on hand.
• - 25-60% Reduction in Shrinkage: The accuracy of automated cash counting replaces manual methods, significantly cutting down on errors and losses.
• - Over $500 Monthly Savings per Location: By minimizing the time spent on deposit preparation and cutting down on bank runs, retailers can expect considerable savings.

Store managers also gain clarity on cash positions without the typical waiting period for updates, enabling better decision-making and operational efficiency.

The Impact on Retail Efficiency

According to Clifford Richstone, Chief Revenue Officer of Paythings, many retailers have struggled with outdated cash handling processes for too long. The partnership with KORT Payments seeks to change this narrative by empowering teams with tools that make cash management easier and more reliable. James Good, Chief Revenue Officer at KORT Payments, emphasized, "What Paythings has built gives operators immediate visibility into their cash and a simpler way to manage it across locations. This changes the day-to-day operations of stores, supporting both efficiency and profitability."

This transition towards modern cash handling is a significant step for retailers, especially as they face increasing pressure to adapt to new technologies. The integration of Paythings' services across Canada highlights a commitment to innovation in cash operations, bridging the gap between traditional cash handling and the digital age.
