I wish I could give a ZERO rating on this company, they are a complete scam, please be aware of this company.
On June 2016 after so many phone calls, I agreed to have a meeting with one of their sales rep in my office, during the meeting the sales compared the rates and told me how much that I can save annually if I use their service, I told her that my only concern was the service term, I couldn’t follow their original contract which was 3year on the service and 2year lease on the credit card terminal, because I will be work overseas after June 2017, so I refuse the service. But that sales called their supervisor right in front of me to get the permission to avoid the 3 year service term and 2year terminal lease term on the contract. After the phone call she told me that she had the permission to do so, she put me on the spot, high pressured me signed the contract, when signing the contract she told me that she took off the service term categories so I shouldn’t worry about it, but the credit card terminal lease was done by the third party, just sign the 2 year lease on the contract, when it’s time to cancel the service, the company will notify the party to cancel the terminal lease as well.
I was so naive to trust sales from this company, I got burned so bad. Their rates go up month by month, I end up spending even more. I try to cancel the service in June this year, and their service rep told me I have a 3-year contract, and if cancel now I have to pay $500 dollar fees for early termination, and still have to pay the monthly lease on the terminal even if I returned it. I told the service rep what happens, but she shows me the contract I signed last June, I couldn’t find where the service term I was signed at the beginning then she pointed out, guess what, they hide the 3year service term under the processor and banking information with small print. I want to talk to the sales rep who sold me the service, and they told me that the sales left the company already, and they can do nothing about it.
The whole thing was a scam, I searched online and find out, a lot of business got trick in and had same bad experience with me. Their BBB review is low, the owner blamed the competitor purposely write faults review on them, but I am their true client and my horrible experience tells you STAY AWAY from this company!

We had switched over to Allied Commercial early last year. They sent a rep out to our business. He looked at a previous bill from our current merchant and said they could safe us a lot of money. The rates on the charges were often 2 or 3 percent higher than what was promised. On top of that we had to lease a machine for $50 a month for 4 years. Later we found out that same machine could be bought online for $65
To get out of their contract, it cost $500 and then $1,700 for the machine and on top of it we have to ship the machine back.
Allied Commercial Financial attempted to resolve this complaint via our mediation program but the commenter declined to participate. ACF supplied the following response:

Since the posting of my previous review on July 9th 2016, Sean, one of the partners, has contacted me and resolved all my issues in a prompt and professional manner. The excellent customer service provided is very much appreciated. If exceptional customer service is provided from the beginning, I am positive your company will continue to be successful. Thank you again.

after receiving a series of sales calls over a 2 wk period and after advising each time I was not interested in doing business with their company.. today I finally demanded to be removed from their call list in an equally as aggressive manner. I have now, thus far, received a total of 7 consecutive phone calls. ‘oops. sorry. didn’t mean to call you back’. all are on my toll free line. meaning I have record.
while googling this company / adding my reviews to every site.. I’m also calling my attorney to find out additional options

his company is big lire & Cheater.Never trust their Reps.Actual Charges you pay are much more higher than they guarantee.They charge your account for unrecognized Charges you never approved. Once you start using their processor,They won’t listen your complaints & never call you back as they have the worst customer service.
