VizyPay Contract Terms
The standard VizyPay program guide details a three-year contract through First Data with an unspecified early termination fee. However, VizyPay notes in its promotional materials that it offers a month-to-month agreement with no cancellation fees. Merchants should therefore double-check their merchant application to ensure that they can terminate at any time without penalty. VizyPay fees also include a charge for interchange plus 0.35% plus $0.10 for retail transactions, a $15 monthly fee, a $19.95 PCI non-compliance fee, and a $50 account closure fee.
Virtual Terminal and Payment Gateway Pricing
In addition to its storefront payment processing services, VizyPay also dedicates a portion of its website to advertising its virtual terminal and payment gateway services. The company charges interchange plus 0.45% plus $0.15 for e-commerce transactions. Additional fees, including gateway fees, technical support fees, and batch fees typically apply to these e-commerce services.
Built-In Equipment Lease
The standard VizyPay contract formerly included a built-in lease for Clover payment processing equipment through First Data Global Leasing, though with their expansion to PAX machines it’s unclear if this is still baked into the VizyPay contract. These lease terms are known to last as long as 60 months and ultimately cost far more than the actual purchase price of the leased equipment. VizyPay’s promotional materials claim that the company does not lease any equipment, but merchants should ensure that this language is present in their contract. We advise merchants to purchase their point-of-sale equipment up front and to never lease when possible.
No Red Flags
The total absence of complaints about the company’s contract terms merits an “A” in this category, and VizyPay’s contract terms are competitive with the cheapest merchant accounts in the industry.

Inside/Outside Sales Team
VizyPay appears to rely on a combination of independently contracted sales agents and in-house staff to market its services. There is no evidence at this time that the company’s sales team is incentivized to deceive merchants, and we are unable to locate any VizyPay complaints that report unethical behavior by the company’s sales staff.
This compares favorably to our list of best credit card processors.
No Misleading Quotes
VizyPay does not list any misleading rate quotes or unrealistic guarantees in its official materials. In fact, it clearly discloses its interchange-plus rates for all business types, which is as transparent as pricing can get. If you suspect that VizyPay is charging you undisclosed fees, we recommend seeking a third-party statement audit to eliminate hidden charges.

None of these statements are true. VizyPay is a wonderful company. They have unmatched support – their Agent program has a very aggressive Schedule A, they cherish their sales teams. You won’t find a more honest merchant service provider. I’ve been in the business for 10 years – I’m speaking from experience.
Doug Demiro
Vizypay is a scam, plain and simple. They falsely claim to be bigger and better than what they really are. Paid for awards, an immature and dishonest CEO and a convict VP. Do your homework before signing or working for Vizypay! You have been warned!

Are you saying stay away from Vizypay? Just want to verify. Was thinking of going with tbem.

Thank you Peter! I was considering a Sales Rep job with these folks. So glad I did my homework before I applying. And thank you cardpaymentoptions.com, for the historical research published here. I have had past dealing with both First Data, and Wells Fargo, and both left a bad taste in my mouth. (That was my first red flag). But when I saw Peter’s posting….well, let’s just say, the warning will be well heeded.
Thanks again to you both.
Peter Bellanton
Stay away from this company. They have false leading partner agreements and also are old Cpay directors from the Cpay that abandoned all of us. They are FIRST DATA ISO NOT DIRECT! They won’t pay you direct, they are not paying true residuals. They say it’s 50% split when it’s 50-50-50%.
Mike
Yet the Vizypay program guide you can look up on here CLEARLY says it’s a 3 year term. They also offer leasing and this page review says there’s “no red flags??” Seems legit.
