Note: It appears that the Infinitech brand has been fully absorbed by i3 Verticals and is no longer in use on its own. We will therefore no longer be updating this profile and direct our readers to our i3 Verticals review.

Customer Reviews & Sentiment
Low Complaint Volume
We have located only a few negative Infintech reviews, some of which explicitly refer to Infintech as a scam or a ripoff. The complainants primarily cite unexpected Infinitech fees, poor customer service, and an unprofessional work environment for sales agents. In its rebuttal to one complaint, Infintech claimed that it never received the appropriate cancellation notice from the merchant. Nevertheless, the company agreed to refund the merchant for the monthly fees in dispute. In another, Infintech allowed the merchant to cancel without applying a $375 termination fee. These appear to be isolated incidents and have not seriously impacted Infintech’s score in this category, but a persistent series of similar complaints will begin to lower the company’s rating. If you have your own Infinitech review to make, please do so in the comments below.
Infintech Lawsuits and Fines
We have not found any outstanding class-action lawsuits or FTC complaints filed against Infintech. Dissatisfied merchants who wish to pursue a non-litigious course of action against the company should consider reporting it to the relevant supervisory organizations.
Infintech Customer Service Options
Infintech offers 24/7 phone support for its merchants, but this line may be serviced by the company’s backend processor.
We have located a single Infinitech customer service phone number:
(800) 621-8931 – Toll-Free Customer Service
The company also appears to offer a customer support form and possibly chat on its website.
In any case, the company does not rank among the best payment processors for great customer service.

Clean Complaint Record
Infintech has been accredited with the Better Business Bureau since 2010 and currently maintains an “A+” rating. The company is showing 0 complaints posted to its BBB profile in the last three years. Infintech has not received any informal reviews, although it should be noted that these reviews are not subject to verification by the BBB.
An “A” Performance
Given the company’s clean complaint record, we agree with the BBB’s rating in this case. Merchants should be sure not to rely on the BBB alone for validation of a company’s trustworthiness, as there are definite reasons to be skeptical of BBB grades.
Card Processing Rates & Fees
Three-Year Agreement
The standard Infintech Program Guide is a three-year contract with Charge Payment, LLC, a DBA of i3 Verticals. Infintech has previously claimed to offer interchange-plus pricing, but it has recently downplayed this in its advertising materials.
The company has also warned merchants about long-term contracts in the sales copy on its website. However, one of the public complaints that the company has received describes a three-year Infinitech contract with an early termination fee of $375 and a PCI compliance fee of $119 per year, which seems to indicate a shift in the company’s position on long-term contracts. Additionally, the typical i3 Verticals contract repackaged by the company includes a built-in non-cancellable lease agreement through First Data Global Leasing.
Virtual Terminal and Payment Gateway Pricing
In addition to its storefront payment processing services, Infintech also dedicates a portion of its website to advertising its virtual terminal and payment gateway services. However, pricing is not disclosed on either of those services. Additional Infinitech rates and fees, including gateway fees, technical support fees, batch fees, and additional transaction rates typically apply to these e-commerce services.
Level 2 and Level 3 Processing Services
In addition to its traditional merchant services, Infintech also advertises that it provides Level 2 and Level 3 processing for B2B and B2G transactions. Level 2 and Level 3 processing rely upon different interchange rates than traditional consumer credit transactions. Accommodating those rates requires different payment processing technology from a merchant account provider to transmit the amount of data required to facilitate the transactions. These services are reserved for B2B and B2G purchases that utilize corporate credit cards.
Infintech Contract Terms
Given that there is only one public Infinitech complaint that specifically mentions Infintech contract terms, we will assume that most merchants are able to qualify for competitive pricing and contract terms through Infintech. Merchants are advised to read their agreements carefully to ensure that all rates and terms are fully understood. Merchants are also encouraged to compare Infintech’s pricing to low-cost merchant account providers. If you have any knowledge of the standard Infintech merchant agreement (including early termination fees, PCI compliance fees, monthly minimum fees, and other costs), please leave that information in the comment section below this review. We also encourage merchants to check out our list of the providers of thebest merchant accounts.
Bottom Line
A Solid Option For Most Merchants
Infintech rates as a reliable merchant services provider according to our rating system. The company is showing only a few public complaints overall and has previously claimed to offer interchange-plus pricing. However, a recent shift in the company’s ad copy as well as negative reviews from some commenters seem to indicate that the company’s service may have changed following its acquisition by i3 Verticals. Merchants should compare Infintech’s pricing to the top-rated credit card processors to get the best deal.
