Sekure Merchant Solutions
reviews and complaints

On November 3, 2023, I entered the Square.com website through my phone and called the contact number that turned out to be secure.com. I was assisted by a man named Guillermo González whose email address [protected]@sekuremerchants.com.

The call made to this person was to hire a point of sale for my company (305 luxury Car ) and I had to give a lot of private information verbally and at the end of the call he sent me a document to sign. In that document I had to offer my address personal number, Social Number, telephone number, EIN of my company, telephone number, account number and Routing number of my business account, bank statement, that is, my entire identity.(eu.docusing.net was used to fill the document with all my data.)

So far I have not received the POS or incoming or outgoing calls, something very strange because I would receive the equipment in no more than three days. The answering machine of the telephone disclosed on the website repeats that the normal waiting time is 45 seconds and you are The next one, he doesn't stop repeating it and if you agree to have them call you, they don't call you either.

From the first moment of the call I heard that it was a recorded call for security reasons. I also started recording and I have the recording of the entire conversation with this person with a Dominican accent. I assume he is an identity’s thief because until now I only have concern that they may use my information to make fraudulent purchases.

This company is extremely aggressive and they make you feel like you must be incompetent if you don't want to hear their sales pitch. Even after requesting for them to take us off their call list, both verbally and in an email, I received another call today from a new salesman. After I told him AGAIN that we are not interested and to take us off their call list, he defended the past history and kept prying for my "reasons" why we weren't interested. He kept saying he was "surprised" that I wouldn't be willing to take a look again and that most reasonable people would be open minded! REALLY?! I was very polite even though he kept questioning me! I finally told him that besides not being in the market to change our merchant service, I didn't want to work with this company because they were high pressure and at least 3 of our staff members tried to tell them we weren't interested several times and they just don't LISTEN! This company has taken up a lot of my time with this nonsense and I don't understand how their rating isn't a lot lower!

This was my fourth Merchant system I have used. I don't understand why clients don't give them a better, I never had an issue with them in fact when i had to separate from them (a new software I purchased required that i go with another company - so far I am not impressed with them, nothing Like Sekure MS) Sara M was very helpful. Sara, per my request researched some contract issues I had questions on and got back to me promptly. Based on other merchants when separating were rude and non-appreciative of my using their service. I am not a high maintenance guy, I try to figure things out but when I couldn't SMS support helped me. It did take on avg. about 10-12 minutes to reach someone but support resolved my issue promptly. As I told Sara I wasn't terminating my contract with SMS because of better pricing or bad service, i would have preferred to stay with them, especially the way Sara handled my transition, but I couldn't control the program I was buyings' vendor. Thank you for everythingSMS, I highly recommend them.

My Georgian based business was contacted earlier today by a sales rep. *** called the storefront first, then my manager's direct cellphone number. Somehow knowing his name and the model of credit card machine the store used.*** claimed that the machine would soon be obsolete and no longer supported by it's home company. This got my manager afraid enough to contact me, the owner, over the matter.Already many red flags had been raised, and more were as I spoke with the rep myself who was -very- insistent on calling. Having missed their initial call whilst in the restroom, they called the manager back in order to get in contact with me again. When I did finally talk with the person they, within minutes, were asking for very personal information such as my living address and SSN.I did take the conversation any further, I certainly did not do any business with them. However every instinct I have, as both a business owner and a child of the internet, threw up too many red flags to be comfortable with.If approached, proceed with extreme caution and scrutiny.

I recently had the pleasure of working with *** from Sekure Merchant regarding a credit card transaction that needed communication for approval with our processing bank. *** reached out to our corresponding bank, while I was on hold, to obtain a quick answer to our issue, and had difficulty getting through to a representative due to high call volume. *** was pleasant and kept me informed throughout the call. Even though *** was unable to complete the call with me on the telephone, she persevered until she was successful in obtaining an answer from our processing bank and called me back twice with detailed information and advised that she would check on the situation the following day to confirm all was settled. In this day and age where good customer service is pretty much null and void, my encounter with *** was the exact opposite. She accomplished her job until we had an answer to our question even though, through no fault of hers, it may have taken more time and effort than average. Thank you *** for "DOING YOUR JOB" and doing it to PERFECTION!

Today I was blessed to speak with Neville at Sekure Merchant Solutions. I am writing this review happily, no one had to twist my arm, to get me to compliment her level of excellent service given to me on the phone. She was very personable, attentive and helpful in the suggestions she gave to me. I have had my own Nutrition Practice for 34 years. I have worked with other Gateways to process my patients' Card payments to me. After experiencing 3 other Gateway companies in the last 4 years, I am so grateful to find the efficiency and professionalism and timely responses I have witnessed in my first several months of working with Sekure Merchant Solutions. I again commend Neville for the way she interacted with my questions and requests over the phone today. It empowered me quickly to make a key business decision I have been pondering for a few days. She went above and beyond what the average agent would have offered in any other gateway or processing company I have worked with in the past. She seems to be naturally great at fulfilling her role at Sekure. Sincerely, *** USA

Darren P with Sekuremerchants.com is awesome! After getting run through the ringer contacting *** who claimed we didn't exist, Darren was more then helpful & I spent an hour on the phone with him running intervention between myself & *** processing & technical support. *** failed to inform me that our credit card processor was out of date, which was the main reason for my problem in trying to issue a partial credit to a customer. They (A***) also told me that my business didn't exist which is interesting since, even though we are a seasonal business, they process an average of $60,000/month from us. Darren was able to help me process the return from his end & also was very helpful in explaining that we should look into getting a new processor. Any time I have a problem, I will contact Darren again. ***, on the other hand, leaves a lot to be desired as far as customer service, & for the most part, you can't understand the person on the phone. Again . . . I give Darren @ securmerchants more then a 5 star rating!

Our Company receives multiple calls from Sekure Merchant Solutions weekly despite telling them repeatedly that we are not interested. I finally listened to the whole pitch and was being misled to believe that this was a service I already had. I was told a free analysis could be preformed to get my credit card transactions at a 0% rate. However, they had none of my information. If it is a service I already have they should then have my information. I told them again I wasnt interested and wanted to stay with the company I currently do credit card transactions through. I was again told this is a service I already had (attempting to mislead me into thinking I already did business with Sekure) and an email would be sent to me explaining everything. Once the email was received, nothing more was explained and a copy of my Merchant Statement was requested. Im smart enough to know I do not already do business with this company, and I do not want to do business with this company. Their tactics are very misleading, and they continue to harass me despite repeatedly being told Im not interested. I do not want to be contacted by this company, or any of its subsidiaries, again.

We received an unsolicited call from this company on 6/17, at which time they asked to speak to whoever handles our credit card and billing processes. They then proceeded to ask several questions regarding our merchant services, including how we receive our monthly statements and how our card machine works. I informed them we are not interested in their services, and was transferred to a supervisor, Gabrielle. Gabrielle then begins the same speech all over again and I say again that we are not interested in their services. She continues to push for me to send them copies of our end of day settlement reports, which include financial information. I told her I was not comfortable continuing that line of conversation without the consent of the owner, and she requested to speak to her. The owner was not available at the time (and again, I'd already said at least three times that we were not interested), so she said she'd call back again the next day. We received the call this morning. I knew to look for it and didn't answer. Unsolicited, invasive, and pushy harassment calls are not the way to run a business. Please stop contacting us; we had no interest in the services to begin with and certainly have no interest in ever doing business with a company that operates this way.

I, like many others, often put off taking the time to write a review until enough time has passed when in good conscious I can say to myself "too much time has passed and the review would be yesterday's news". However, based on my recent interaction with Kristyn H. and other members of the client services team at Sekure, I cannot allow that to occur. Why? For several reasons which I will now enumerate: > The level of professionalism and truly "listening" to customer needs is among the highest I have ever experienced in my 50+ years as a financial professional. > The timeliness of responses of all team members, especially Kristyn, is always first rate. > Their willingness to go the extra mile that was demonstrated in addressing and resolving my issue truly and pleasantly amazed me. In closing, the best summary I can provide is that not once did anyone, especially Kristyn, ever leave me with the feeling that they were just going through the motions, as has happened so often during my career. The team at Sekure Merchant Solutions is excellent, and I am grateful that I chose them for my processing. I have had experience with other processes over the years and have never had the level of service and customer care they demonstrate. Respectfully submitted

Their sales team misrepresented and "misspoke" on multiple occasions. First I was told that they would be able to get me out of my contractual obligations with my current processing company, but then I was moved to another individual that said we can only get you out of your processing contract and not your lease. They said they could provide better service than my current company and better rates. I expressly voiced how I'd only be interested in a trial (which they pushed) to see if they really could compare. Which it turns out they were not able to do so, but ended up charging exorbitant cancelation fees for early cancelation. Granted I told them the first month that I was unable to tell if they were actually giving me a better deal and asked for another month, unfortunately I didn't get that explicitly in writing that I wouldn't be charged the cancelation fee for using another month to compare. On top of that I later found out their "credit to switch to them/buying out my current process her contract" doesn't even cover the full thing. And I since COVID it was and has been difficult getting in contact with them, but they can see on their statements I haven't used their terminals for 2 months now and I made my intention well (trial basis only until they could prove they'd give a better rate and service than current processor), but their deceptive tactics got me, hopefully they don't get the next person.

I was misled by two sales representatives of this company I was told by the first sales representative the 4% will be charged to every transaction to my customers and there was no other fees first two months I was charged $25 following 3 months I was charged $39.95 at the beginning of December this past year of 2021 I was told that my fees would be lowered however I was charged this year of January 2022 $188.95 then I call back the company directory transfer me back to the second sales representative that I spoke to in December; he said it was a one-time fee that everybody's charging for filing for the *** I told to him that the merchant count that I have been using doesn't charge me monthly fees and filing compliance with the *** it is a flat fee every year then a percentage for every transaction and that's it and it's not lower like they promised it would be any other merchant account. He was trying to get me with *** and waving the *** filing fee for one time but I told him that I do not work for me I want out of this and asked him to send me a form of cancellation, He did and on form of termination it says the agreement is until 06/03/2024 if terminated early the company will be charged by a bank draft $700 early cancellation fee. Also they encourage to find other people and offer you a $250 *** gift card if you can get another person signed up however with the fees they charge monthly it is not a gift.

I would give this company zero stars if I could. Full disclosure, I have not done business with Sekure Merchant Services, and after today I NEVER will!It started this morning with a phone call from one of their reps. *** business uses ***, and we're very happy with them. I told the gentleman on the phone this and I absolutely was not looking to change processors. He informed me he wasn't from a processing company. His company is "sort of the middle man", they work for *** and he felt if my business did x amount in sales we would qualify for a lower rate *** offers companies after they hit that threshold. I don't usually fall for this, but he was adamant that his company worked for *** and he was not trying to get me to change my processor. I fell for it. I sent him a screenshot of my sales from yesterday.A couple of hours later I got another call from someone else at Sekure. Right off the bat he was trying to talk to me about the rates his company could offer. I reiterated what I told the gentleman this morning (and what he told me). The guy on the phone laughed at me, told me *** would never lower my rate, that I didn't have to stop using ***'s system (even when I told him it was a *** Register - a proprietary system), and that he could send me terminals in a few days. Yet again, I told him I was not looking to switch processors nor equipment and I asked to be put on their Do Not Call list.I don't know about you, but when a company outright lies to me over and over again in the very first conversation, it's NOT a company I will ever do business with!

This is hands down the worst company I have ever dealt with. I have never felt so taken advantage of. Just like so many other reviews I signed up with Sekure merchants over the phone and via email where I was promised low rates, no hidden fees and no cancellation fees or contracts. None of this was true. I am a small farm in the north east and we signed up with sekure merchants our first year in business. The start up cost to break ground and the number of hours that go into a business such as ours is endless. My husband and I both hold 40 plus hour a week jobs off the farm to make ends meet while getting our start, we have an active teenage daughter and tend to our farm every waking minute. Sekure merchants horrific customer service and dishonest business practices consumed more time and energy than we had available. The equipment they provided only worked at two events and never worked correctly again. I took a full day off from my day job to correct the issue, I spent 6 hours on the phone that day and got nowhere. What I did learn was that we were being charged exorbitant amounts of fees. The solution I was given when I called about the faulty equipment was to call tech, I did and they could not fix the issue. I was then told they could not send me another credit card machine free of charge because they were out of the model I used due to the chip shortage because of covid. They then told me that they had other models available but I would have to purchase one. Their equipment worked twice! In what what world do you not replace equipment that does not work...I have been trying to cancel my account with sekure merchants ever since. It was never disclosed to me that I was entering a contract despite the fact that I asked the question point blank. I have emails confirming that they were not going to charge me any fees which they did to excess. My original cancellation fee was quoted as $750 which they reduced to $295. It took over a month to close my account and before they finally closed it out they deducted another $202 from my account despite the fact that I had not made a transaction in a month and half. When it was all said and done this companies fees were more than twice the amount I processed in credit cards in a 5 month period. The time I spent fighting with this company just to try to make their service viable and the amount of money they took officially put put our small American farm out of business.

On November 8, I emailed our account rep and requested the account to be closed effective immediately.On November 11, I received an email stating, "Your Merchant Agreement terminated on 11/19. However, if you opt for early cancellation of the Merchant Agreement, the cancellation fee will be $295.00." Furthermore,, "By signing and dating below, you are officially requesting early termination of your Merchant Agreement, as well as agreeing to the above-mentioned cancellation fee."The agreement should have been terminated on 11/19. We did not want to be charged a $295.00 cancellation fee for closing the account 8 days before the agreement was terminated. Therefore, we did not sign and return early cancellation request.We are still being charged monthly fees 7 months later. I have been trying to contact the "Relationships Manager", but she isn't returning my calls or replying to my emails, only to say she can't get ahold of me. When I call her, she is always "in a meeting" and they will have her call me back. I haven't received one missed call from her or anyone else with the company.The account should have been terminated on 11/19 and we should receive refunds for all of the monthly charges since December 1.

Sekure Merchant Solutions has not been transparent with me and have not yet been able or willing to address my situation with a satisfactory resolution.In short, I was promised a substantial reduction in credit card fees compared to my current process. When I received my first statement, the actual credit card fees ending up being higher. I asked to cancel my account. They asked for a few weeks to see if they could get me a better deal. They did give me a better deal however, it still wasn't enough savings to move to a non-integrated POS.solution. I asked to cancel my account, which is when I found out that they wanted me to pay a $800 early termination fee. Keep in mind that my sales rep told me that I could try this and if it didn't work out that I could cancel. When I mentioned this, I was told that I had to cancel within 45 days of signing the agreement. My original request to cancel was well within 45 days and I would never agreed to to give Sekure more time to research my options if I had been told that it would trigger an early cancellation fee.The Sales misled me to get me to sign the deal. I am asking that I be released from this contract without any early cancellation fees or any additional money beyond what I have already paid.

I received unauthorized charges on my checking account for minimum amount of business not met, for the credit card reader I was set up with for payanywhere. I was told that my fees would be 3% fee on each sale. NOTHING MORE. I never received any information other than the readers and a service representative that helped me set the up system. I used the reader on one occasion, it did calculate the fees as anticipated(3%) The reader was difficult to use as the Bluetooth function had to be reset several times. Subsequently the reader has not been used for over two months. Additionally I have been in Europe on family affairs for the past two months. When I reviewed my bank statement and found the fee of $25.00 I contacted the now third party Sekure Merchant Services which I had no idea there were so many entities. To my dismay I was told that I had signed a contract WHICH I HAVE NOT and that Im locked into a three year commitment! This is simply forged I did not receive any email correspondence NOTHING. They send me an email for Early Cancellation Agreement at the tune of $800.000. I am now forced to close my bank accounts as I now have this ***! Trying to *** blood from me. Further I was threatened that they would reunion my credit.HELP!

I also want you to put in a complaint for me toward this employee (***) at Sekure Merchant for misleading me into signing up and making me end up losing $228.00 in the process. (Only mention about 1% and never ONCE mentioned that there were hidden fees like inter-charge fees which can go up to ***%). I will also try to seek legal action upon this individual if the fund is not returned, do you know who can file this complaint within Sekure Merchant towards ***.Can I have the founder or broadening members email on Sekure Merchant?I paid $306.62 for a $7.8K transaction (***%) when I thought it was only $78.00. Overcharged me $228.00. My Main objective is for him to return my $228.00 This is his linkedin in case you do not know where I am talking about, if its a colleague of your, remind him that he needs to be more transparent when doing his job instead of hiding some detail information so he can earn commision through sales: *** | *** | Senior Account Executive P. *** F. *** Thank You So Much For Help!I Appreciated Your Help!Yi (***)

Starting with aggressive sales tactics (including rushed timelines to sign & incessant phone calls); followed by lies and false promises made verbally (to be later denied) AND on email (which they dismiss and ignore as stated fact); they then ran me through a mill of excessive agents assigned as my "relationship manager;" then to incorrect service, software, and hardware set-up, all of which took long enough to deal with that my period to terminate the contract passed. Despite having numerous emails proving the false promises and lies, as well as disputing charges, fee changes, etc, they refuse to credit me for overcharges, and instead have been layering on additional fees which are outside of federal requirements. They obscured the actual contract, instead having me sign a summary document very specifically titled as the official and which they mislead me to believe was the full contract, but didn't provide the real one until over a year later. When I finally received the real contract, it actually included clauses I'd specifically asked about, and was told IN WRITING that it didn't include. Additionally, I was promised IN WRITING that there was a cap on Early Termination, however when I received my termination request, it detailed fees above and beyond that.

Secure merchant solutions has not been fully truthful about their business offered to me. When I signed up, I was under the impression that they would provide the service for accepting credit cards but soon found out that there were two other companies involved. I'm not sure if they are all one entity or not operating under different names. I was initially told that the credit card fees are charged to the customer and that I would never have to pay a fee unless I choose to absorb the 4% for my client. I specifically asked if there were any monthly fees and again I was told a resounding "NO". All fees are absorbed by the 4%. A few weeks after signing up I got my first statement with a $25 monthly maintenance fee. When I contacted secure merchant solutions they now said there is a monthly maintenance fee unless I surpass a certain amount in fees. I argued this and they offered to call me back which they have not done. I emailed them on the 13th of December asking to have my account closed and they have not replied. All phone calls go to voicemail and call is not returned. I now have an open account with Sekure Merchant Solutions, Payments Hub, and North American Bankcard. All part of accepting credit cards. I wish to have my accounts closed so that no further charges are incurred and a credit for any charges already applied in contradiction to what I was promised.

Received cold call from *** who is an Account Executive for Sekure Merchant Solutions back in December. We spoke at great lengths about the product and service. I explained that we are a small - family owned business and pretty much cash based. Further explained to her that most of the months we would not use the credit card processor and it would be used under very rare circumstances. I was assured by *** that the only fee we would ever pay is a monthly fee of $9.95 for the terminal. With the understanding that 4% would be passed on to the cardholder and we would not see any other charges. Furthermore, if we at any point decide to cancel - we would only need to return the equipment to avoid any fees. To date, we have received 3 statements. January 2022 $9.95, February 2022 $34.95, and March $49.90. The price just keeps going up - yet we've only used the machine once. I have been passed around by so many people (I have names) and have sent emails. Most going un-responded to. I do have an email from one person saying, let me look into this - "as that shouldn't be"One person said sorry, not sorry - there is nothing they could do, but I could cancel for a small fee of $800.00!Our business would just like to exit out of this false contract and be done with them. We have not benefited from this service at all, nor are the terms how they were 'sold' to us.

I opened an account with Sekure Merchant Solutions on May 2, 2022. Afterwards I realized that my business didn't need their product and couldn't support it's use. I called the sales person the following day (May 3, 2022) and requested that my account (account #***) be closed. After I explained my reasons, he promised to handle it. I called several times and left messages on his voicemail but he didn't respond. Then I called his sales manager (***) and explained the situation. She said that she would contact the Customer *** to handle the request. Again nothing happened. I called several times more, each time having to speak with yet another person ***, etc) with each person promising to handle my request- but no avail. On May 6, 2022 someone named *** called from ***, *** and said that she would handle this. Still no action has been taken to close my account. Since it's been over a week and at least a dozen requests with no response from Sekure Merchant Solutions, I am appealing to you, complaintsboard.com, to intervene on my behalf to get this account closed officially so that I don't get charged for anything, I have not received any equipment or devices, no formal paperwork. My business is under the name "***" and my business email is *** You can reply to my personal email address at

Hello,this is my experience with sekure. Like a year ago I call square to talk to costumer service and the lady on phone offers me sekure merchant service saying that was cheaper than square : the fees per transaction and was no contract and not additional fees other than 10 cents per transaction and what the credit card charge per transaction etc . So since it was cheaper than square and was not contract and no extra fees other than *** the little terminals to change with for free , I agree to it . But when I started to charge with it it didnt process fast enough and every time I have clients waiting to long to process the payment so I call them to help me fix the problem but even though I try everything they told me to do still did not work well so I stop to used it. So was then when I started to get a few changes on my bank account , so call them about they told me was a charge to have the service , so I got so frustrated with all the lies and the flurry stuff and told them to cut the service. And didnt hear anything until now that some collection company call me telling me that I owe $1.348.55 for all the fees and getting out of a contract that I have never known about and never signed. My request is that this imaginary death disappear and so my account with them never want to have nothing to do with them. And if is possible so someone else wont have this unpleasant experience- tell them to tell the whole thrust at front about the deal with them ( getting the sekure merchant service)

I was cold called by Secure Merchant Company, and was told they could lower the percentages on my current merchant processing account. I listened, and agreed. When it cam time to go over the process, and equipment I realized that day that their processor, and software was unable to be integrated into my current software for tracking inventory, and running reports. I had made it clear that I needed something that worked exactly like the processing system I was already using. I was assured by secure Merchants it would be. Before starting their services I quickly made the decision to stick with the system I was using because using Secure Merchants wasn't a system that would provide anymore benefit than the one I was using. So I cancelled the same day. I received a cancellation email, and a phone call confirming my cancelled account (11//2018). Since the cancellation I have been charged every month for their services, and they have been deducting that payment from my business account. The deduction from my business checking looks almost identical to the deduction taken from the actual processing account I do use, so this did take me a while to notice. I have since called my bank and blocked them from further payment after April . I have called numerous times, spoken to numerous people, and I was assured I was owed a refund. They apologized. Almost 3 weeks later, and I have received no call backs, no email follow up, nothing. I would like to know if my refund is at the least processing. I get the run around during every phone call. Or Im told I wasn't calling them because they have no record of it? I call the same number. The same number that was left on my voicemail by one associate who I called back to no avail. this number for secure merchant.

I received a call from Sekure Merchant Solutions in March 2022 where we spoke for quite a while on the phone and they explained the full extent of their services. After being assured that there were no hidden fees outside of the small transaction amounts taken for each transaction, I was sent a contract. Under the understanding that as a small business we would only have to pay a percentage amount for each transaction, and given the assurance that there are no additional fees I went ahead and proceeded with the contract. However, I have been charged various amounts ranging from $20-$30 per month with no explanation on how the amounts are derived or where they are coming from. When I reached out to speak to them, they were unhelpful and rude and refused to provide any explanations for the charges at which point I let them know that I would like to cancel the contract. I was then told that the only way that I would be able to cancel the contract is by paying $800+ as a cancellation fee. I was never informed about a cancellation fee prior to these interactions and the only reason I initially went forward with the contract was because of the assurance of no additional fees. When I let them know that I would not be paying that fee because there was no initial mention of the fee and no amount was listed as well on the original contract, I was told that they would be sending my *** to collections and that I HAD to pay that amount. I have not been allowed to cancel every time I call while the customer service reps have been disrespectful. As a small business, I cannot have these fees building up and would like to simply exit the contract. Had they delivered on the pre-agreed contract I would have continued my business with them however, because of the shady fees and services I would like to end the contract.

They started calling me March . A *** by the of *** He told me there would be NO fee's. I told him I was a seasonal business and only was open 4-5 months a year and he told me that was ok. Little did I know once I signed the paper work I was immediately give to another guy by the name of ***. At his point everything was "NEW" to me. *** called me none stop. Then all the sudden no one would answer the phone. Harder and harder to communicated with them. As I started to take credit cards at my business they would take a % from the buyer and then take a % from me as I watch my account daily...like I had to babysit what they would do next. After complaining about them taking my money that stopped. Everything was ok while I took credit cards during each month without fee's being taken from me. Once the credit card payments stopped from my business they started taking "FEE'S" from my bank account. $25 here, $15 there...$150 again, another $25 and so on...adds up as months go by. I try to call and wait on the phone for hours and never talk to anyone. At this point I'm not using the card at all and every month they are taking fee's out from my account. several months go by and I finally got someone on the phone and told them I want to close my account Another month goes by and nothing is cancelled and yet fees are still being removed. Several months go by with me calling and telling them to close my account and they do nothing. Hundreds of $$ are taken from my account that I haven't used for months. Finally got ahold of someone and this time I was telling them I want this account closed! They then sent me a email wanting me to sign another document agreeing on a $650 closing fee? What!Yes I have my bank involved but the problem is they change the way they take funds and its hard for the bank to stop payments. I just want this to stop!

Sekure merchant solutions *** completely misled me to believe the only service charges they charge are pd by the customer(which they charged excessive amount to my customer) I explained to them I DO NOT and WILL NOT pay any service fees I said FREE or Im not interested my business still hasnt gotten off the ground yet Cryo Works was NOT in any position to be paying monthly service fees when I have NO Revenue coming in or clients YET.It was my 1st and only customer that I was looking for free 1x credit card service 1 charge 1 time only and my customer was willing and did pay *** credit card fee. Next thing I know theyre deducting $25 out of my bank account every month stating I agreed to it which is a lie. Why would I agree to pay any amount when I didnt have my business up and running completely? I am still learning about and how to use the machine I bought. I did give them my credit card number because they said they needed it to open me an account for the free credit card services for Cryo works but will charge the customers credit card for service fees. I canceled my credit card through my bank navy federal credit Union and received a new credit card. I called sekure merchant solutions and verbally told them I wanted to cancel whatever they claim I agreed to pay monthly. Then Last month feb2022 my bank called me saying they were trying to collect $25 out of my account using my new credit card number I just got. I never authorized I actually canceled not authorized.today mar 21 2022 I am writing a lettter to cancel the out the mail with them which was recommended by North American Bancard LLC *** they have info/notes re:me being lied to/mislead by secure merchant solutions (NAB LLC company SMS actually goes through) I want them to quit ruining my credit, quit trying to get payments out of my bank acct. None of this makes sense why I would agree to pay them every month when Ive used their service 1x and that service fee was pd

We switched our credit card point of sale merchant company to Sekure Merchants because they advertised a transaction fee of 1%+ 10 cents per transaction. We asked multiple times before signing on if there were any other fees we needed to know about as it seemed to be too good a rate to be true. The rep didn't say yes or no, she simply forwarded the promotional material via email for review, where the only information on transaction fees was 1%+10 cents. After getting our first statements, it was clear that there were other fees than the advertised rate. We contacted them and they informed us that those extra fees were the costs from the credit companies themselves (*** etc.) and that we were still being charged only the 1%+ 10 cents from Sekure Merchants. We pointed out that they did not tell us about the credit company fees even though we had asked multiple times if there were any other fees, we stated we felt their was genuine fraud and legal action might be necessary if we could not come to a resolution. After reviewing our complaint, managment at Sekure Merchants agreed that we were not properly informed and refunded the fees of which we had not been made aware. At this point we were satisfied with the resolution but did not wish to continue business with Sekure Merchants and we switched back to our old merchant company. Upon informing Sekure Merchants we would be terminating their services, they sent us an early termination letter with a $750.00 fee attached. We complained about that, as we were never presented with a contract of any kind. We simply agreed to sign up via email, they mailed us their POS terminals and stated they would take care of all the closing costs and all we needed to do was plug them in and start using them. When we pointed out that a contract had never been presented to us regarding early termination fees, or in fact, any contract at all, they countered with a second letter reducing the early termination fee to $295.

I received a phone call from someone who I thought worked for the credit card processing company we already were in business with. The woman (***) told me our account was cancelled and we had no option but to switch credit card processing companies because we were using a product that had cbd in it during one of our services. She said that it would affect our business credit and even possibly make it so we couldnt use personal credit cards ever again. She used fear and manipulation and said there was no processing companies that would work with us but she could try one and fingers crossed that it would work. Having just started our business less than a year earlier we were in a true panic thinking this woman was actually saving us and trying to help. Little did we know she did not work for our credit card company, she worked for Sekure Merchant Solutions and somehow poached our information. All we had to do was call our and explain our situation and we would be able to use the machine we had already purchased and be completely fine. Instead we signed an agreement out of fear that said we would use payment hub and their services for credit card processing thinking that this was the only way our business would stay afloat. Cue to a few months later after paying more money for processing fees we found out we could use our old machine we tried to cancel our agreement and were told there was no way out. After reaching out multiple times and being ignored or flat out lied to about trying to lower our rates we decided to just stop using them all together and try to return the equipment to avoid further fees. This in itself was a nightmare trying to get anyone to explain how to return it. This company is a scam and I can not believe they would take advantage of two young female business owners. They should be ashamed of themselves and whoever that woman was who called and made us literally cry out of fear should be ashamed of herself.

I received an unsolicited call from Sekure Merchants Sollutions in June asking if I took payments for my product online. He said that their company was offering to charge only $1 for each purchase with my customers' credit cards. I had just purchased a new phone that didn't have the connection for my Square Reader that I had used for many years and thought this was a good idea. "Only $1 per transaction," I asked again. "Yes," was the reply, I told him that I only used the product around Christmas time as it was a golf coupon book and I usually did around 30 transactions. He said that his product would be perfect. He said that he would send me one, then said he would send me two to give the other one to another business. Before we hung up, he repeated again that it was only $1 for each transaction, no other charge, and he would send me them that day, and I received it a few days later and called him back to have it explained how to use. He told me to put my credit card in and charge myself a dollar to see that it worked properly. I put it away until my first call on December 16. I checked to see that it went through the next day and it did. I checked my bank statement and found that there had been a charge of $27.92. I check former statements and they had started charging me the $27.92 back in June, although I had never used it. Each month had a charge and $42.92 on Dec. 1 even though I had never used it. I called on Dec. 27, but after 52 minutes of waiting for customer service the phone call was disconnected by them. I then did live chat and someone called back. The person said that that was there policy to charge each month. I told her that I was told that I would only be charged one dollar for each usage and that I wanted to cancel the program and give the products back. She gave me an address in *** to send the two products. I mailed them and called them. I gave them my story and they said I needed to straighten it out with Sekure Merchants
