I am owner of SemBro Outlet and sign up with BCMS about 3-4 month ago. We had several trouble with processing, some fees was not explained, and when spoken with representative – two times they gave us wrong answer. We are on the line right now, thinking to switch to different merchant service.
Leo,
I am not an employee of BCMS nor am I authorized to speak on their behalf.
Speaking as a veteran ISO in this industry, I noticed that you’ve only been with BCMS 3 to4 . Honestly, your account is still within the “ramp-up” window. This means, there are probably integrated services such as online invoicing, ecommerce and other services that a processor may not get perfect to your liking until the 3rd or 4th invoice.
The bottom line is, you may have wasted your time looking for a different processor. BCMS has been around for decades and has a solid reputation. Based on their website they “white label” the services of Elavon, Sage and several other big boys. Service doesn’t get any better than what BCMS brings to the table.
Good luck.
Kevin, i agree with you. i am not a merchant, but an independent agent. I do have a relationship with the owner and staff at BCMS, but I work for another company. If I ever made a change in my career it would be to work with those guys. They are very transparent with the shortest customized merchant application Ive seen in the industry. The last time I checked they have over 90% of their clients PCI compliant. They have a gal who calls hundreds if not thousands of merchants to help complete their PCI questioannaires as well as performing their quarterly scanning. If there are fees that dont make sense, i would take a guess its interchange not BCMS causing the confusion. As we all know interchange is much more than a “rate and a per item fee”.
