TransSwipe Customer Reviews
Here's What Their Clients Say
Total Online Complaints | <10 |
---|---|
Live Customer Support | Yes |
Most Common Complaint | N/A |
We are unable to locate any negative TransSwipe reviews, which is a good indication that the company is not a ripoff or a scam. This is an enviable complaint total for a company of any size or age, although it isn’t clear how large TransSwipe is or how long it has been actively selling merchant accounts. It’s possible that some complaints intended for TransSwipe are mistakenly filed against the company’s backend processor, but we have found no evidence that this is taking place. Overall, TransSwipe deserves an “A” rating in this category on the merit of its clean complaint record. The company advertises 24/7 customer support for merchants.

TransSwipe Fees, Rates & Costs
A Closer Look at The Contract
Swiped Rate | Variable |

Keyed-in Rate | Variable |
Early Termination Fee | Variable |
PCI Compliance Fee | Variable |
Equipment Lease Terms | Variable |
We have located a copy of the standard TransSwipe high risk merchant application (available below), but this document does not reveal much useful information about TransSwipe’s pricing and fees. TransSwipe does not disclose its contract terms on its website, and the identity of the company’s backend processor is unclear at this time. There are currently no merchant complaints that mention TransSwipe’s contract terms, so we will assume for the time being that most of the company’s merchants are satisfied with their pricing and fees. If you have any specific knowledge of the standard TransSwipe contract (including any early termination fees or PCI compliance fees), please share that information in the comment section below this review. See the TransSwipe High Risk Merchant Application.

Should You Work For Them?
Employs Independent Resellers | No |
---|---|
Advertises Deceptive Rates | No |
Discloses All Important Terms | No |
TransSwipe appears to primarily market its merchant services via an internal sales team and traditional advertising channels. The company does not appear to employ independently contracted sales agents, and we are unable to locate any TransSwipe complaints at this time that accuse the company’s sales staff of deceptive tactics. As an additional point in the company’s favor, it does not advertise any misleading rate quotes or unrealistic guarantees in its official marketing materials. In light of these factors, we award TransSwipe an “A” rating in this category.
