Redstone Payment Solutions Review: Fees, Complaints & Lawsuits

Redstone Payment Solutions rates as an average merchant services provider according to our rating system. The company has a low complaint rate that is roughly proportionate to its size and time in business, but the content of these complaints seems to indicate that it charges a very high early termination fee. Additionally, the company has seen an increase in complaints in the last year or two, which is a negative trend. Redstone Payment’s overall rating may improve or diminish as more information is confirmed about its contract terms, but for now, merchants are advised to compare the company’s pricing to top-rated merchant accounts to obtain the best deal.

PayPartners Review: Fees, Complaints, Comparisons & Lawsuits

PayPartners rates as an average merchant account provider according to our rating criteria. This rating is primarily based on its alleged connection to National Card Solutions. Merchants should not assume that PayPartners will offer better service or lower rates than National Card Solutions, United Card Solutions, Direct Processors, Prestige Payment Systems, National Paymentech, or Performance Merchant Alliance. If it is indeed affiliated with those processors, PayPartners is a candidate to appear on our list of the worst merchant account providers in the industry.

Retriever Merchant Solutions: Fees, Comparisons, Complaints & Lawsuits

Retriever Merchant Solutions rates as an average merchant services provider according to all available information. The company is showing a moderate number of complaints, and it suffers from multiple complaints related to its equipment leases. Retriever can improve its overall rating in this review by minimizing future complaints and by severing ties with Lease Finance Group, which is one of the lowest-rated companies on CardPaymentOptions.com.

Advanced Merchant Services Review: Fees, Complaints & Lawsuits

Advanced Merchant Services rates as an average merchant services provider according to our rating criteria. The company has received an alarming number of complaints about its sales tactics, and a few merchants accuse the company of being a rip-off. Advanced Merchant Services does not appear to distinguish itself in terms of its pricing or contract terms. Merchants are encouraged to read and review all contract terms (including the identity of the company involved) before signing up for any service. For now, merchants will be better served by dealing with a top-rated overall payment processor.

Fiserv (formerly First Data) Review: Fees, Complaints & Lawsuits

Fiserv (First Data) is a large poorly rated merchant services provider and credit card processor. Numerous merchant account reviews report of various problems with fees and contract term disclosure, particularly with resellers. Since Fiserv primarily acts as a “behind-the-scenes” credit card processor for most resellers, a merchant can have completely different experiences depending on which reseller he or she chooses. Working directly with Fiserv may not be advisable for small merchants since it doesn’t guarantee lower rates and Fiserv’s direct merchant support is notoriously poor. That being said, Fiserv does have the ability to offer lower rates than many of its resellers and may be a good fit for high-volume merchants.

Merchant Account Solutions Review: Fees, Complaints & Lawsuits

Merchant Account Solutions rates as a substandard merchant services provider according to our rating criteria. The company is simply a DBA of Integrated Card Service (an iPayment reseller with a very low rating on CPO), and the available merchant feedback regarding Merchant Account Solutions suggests that nothing has changed under the new brand. Merchants are advised to request and review all contract terms and to compare them to top-rated options before signing up with any provider.

Integrated Card Service Review: Fees, Complaints, & Lawsuits

Integrated Card Service receives a substandard score as a merchant services provider according to our rating system. The credit card processor has a persistently high complaint rate that appears to stem from its sales tactics and uncompetitive contract terms. Even more troubling is the fact that there does not appear to be a concerted effort to improve these undesirable factors. Because Integrated Card Service is rated as low as some of the worst merchant account providers on CPO, merchants would be better served by selecting a top-rated option for merchant account needs.

Payroc Review: Fees, Comparisons, Complaints & Lawsuits

Payroc rates as a reliable merchant services provider according to our rating criteria. The company’s previous affiliation with the Retriever family of companies may give some merchants pause, but Payroc appears to be one of the few Retriever offices that did not engage in the sort of conduct that generates negative reviews. The company’s most recent acquisition of Integrity Payment Systems, another highly rated provider, does not seem likely to negatively impact its service going forward. Even when dealing with processors that rate highly by our standards, we urge merchants to carefully examine the terms of any contract they are given and to compare its pricing to the top overall providers.

KBO Payment Processing Review: Fees, Complaints & Lawsuits

KBO Payment Processing rates as a reliable merchant services provider according to our rating criteria. The company is showing zero complaints across all consumer protection websites, and it appears to offer a wide range of possible contract terms through its credit card processor, First Data (Fiserv). Merchants are encouraged to read and negotiate their terms carefully and to compare KBO’s offerings to top-rated processors in order to receive the best possible deal.

T1 Payments Review: Fees, Complaints, Lawsuits, & Comparisons

We formerly rated T1 Payments as an average merchant services provider. However, considering the sudden influx of complaints calling the company a scam for essentially the same behavior (suddenly closing high-risk accounts, holding large amounts of money, and removing all ability to contact them), the evidence is overwhelming that T1 Payments is not a good option for any merchant. T1 has quickly gone from an average provider to one of the worst providers in the industry in our estimation. High-risk merchants would be better served by opting for a highly rated high-risk merchant account provider.

Genesis Merchant Solutions Review: Fees, Complaints & Lawsuits

According to all available information, Genesis Merchant Solutions rates as a reliable merchant services provider. The company relies on Chase Paymentech and First Data (Fiserv) for its processing networks, but we cannot locate specific details about its contract at this time. The company’s rating may be subject to change once we have more information about its policies or once the BBB establishes a profile for it. Merchants are advised to carefully examine all contract terms presented to them and to compare Genesis Merchant Solutions’ pricing to the top overall providers.

Passthrough Payments Review: Fees, Complaints & Lawsuits

According to all available information, Passthrough Payments rates as a dependable merchant services provider. There is not a lot of specific information available about the company’s sales tactics or contract terms at this time, but its clean complaint record is a very positive sign. Even when dealing with companies that rate highly by our standards, we urge merchants to thoroughly examine the terms of any contract they are given and to compare its pricing to top-rated merchant account providers.
