Updated 1/24/2019: The EMV Payment Systems website is no longer active, and it appears that it has not been active since early 2016. It appears that EMV Payment Systems is no longer a functioning brand, although its possible affiliate company, Eschelon Merchant Services, remains active. If you have any information about the current status of EMV Payment Systems (including any rebrandings or DBAs), please share that information in the comment section below this review.
EMV Payment Systems (emvpaymentsystems.com & emvmidwest.com) is a merchant account provider with offices in Henderson, Nevada, and Schaumburg, Illinois. The company’s Schaumburg office does business under the name of “EMV Payment Systems Midwest.” The EMV Payment Systems website primarily discusses the upcoming EMV liability shift and the need for business owners to purchase EMV-compatible equipment, but merchants should be aware that the company also supplies merchant accounts in addition to credit card terminals. Unfortunately, the company’s website does not disclose which company will provide the merchant accounts attached to its POS equipment.
The Better Business Bureau lists Daniel Drake as a managing member of EMV Payment Systems, and there is also a Daniel Drake who is listed as the vice president of business at Eschelon Merchant Services in Phoenix, Arizona. There are also two social media profiles that list Phoenix, Arizona, as the location of EMV Payment Systems. As a final consideration, both Eschelon Merchant Services and EMV Payment Systems are the subjects of multiple merchant complaints describing very similar “slamming” tactics, particularly with regard to equipment leased through First Data Global Leasing and Northern Leasing Systems. At this time, the available evidence suggests that Eschelon Merchant Services and EMV Payment Systems may be linked, but potential EMV Payment Systems merchants are encouraged to inquire about the identity of the company that will provide their credit card processing. Both Eschelon and EMV Payment Systems are registered ISO/MSPs of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Walnut Creek, California. According to the BBB, EMV Payment Systems is headquartered at 2520 St Rose Parkway, Henderson, Nevada 89074, and the company’s principal is B. Lambert.

Representative took $500.00 as a set up fee, which was not supposed to be paid. He said we would get a refund / credit later. Never happened, the main office had no idea what this was. Also, altered contract for the Credit Card scanner to charge for 2 machines, when we had agreed only on one. This is a non cancellation, no change contract which is now just a waste of money. Very shady business practices.

This company is a joke,I applied and was hired. first of all there ad is on Craigslist and have a hiring bonus of a 1000.00 dollars. They never brought it up in interview or there 1day training class.11.00 an hour,only if your there 2wks without quitting or getting terminated,then you go to minimal wage.which works for them,being after training you can’t get the floor managers to coach or listen to your calls to tell you how you can better yourself..why? Oh..cause there to bizy taking the leads that you don’t have to work for or dividing the appts that have been made by an ex employee!! The owner is a great guy,but the clowns that work for him on the floor can be upgraded to professional with concern for all employees to succeed.

This company is slamming customers calling under the name “merchant services ” when asked they said that was their name. It’s what they do. He then tried to tell me I was out of compliance and was trying to make it sound like he saw my transactions saying my account was flagged as low risk. I know for a fact that isn’t true because I have a large ticket and charge months in advance. When asked if he was my merchant services company he said yes I told him he was lying. He said all calls are recorded but there was no taped warning when I called.iif that is true they are taping without my knowledge. Folks. This is a phone room scam they can’t get merchants by telling the truth because of all the hidden fees not to mention the rates are sky high. It used to be called “slamming ” in the 90’s it’s illegal. Stear far away from this company . If they have to mislead to get your business what else are they hiding. “Run forest run “

This company’s customer care is really bad. I’ve requested my money back for many times through sales rep and his supervisor but they don’t give any update and not solve issue at all even though they didn’t install their program and never do service at all but still keep charge automatically over 4 months. Very disappointed. Never recommend.
