Volt Payments Review

Outside Sales Team

Like Federated Payments, Volt Payments appears to employ a combination of telephone appointment setters and independently contracted outside sales agents to market its services. This combination is typically linked to elevated complaint totals within the credit card industry. Volt appears to be no exception, as we are currently able to locate a handful of Volt Payments complaints that describe unethical conduct by the company’s sales team.

Employee Complaints

Most of these complaints have been posted by former employees of Volt Payments. Here is an excerpt from one such complaint:

ATTENTION – Volt Payments, www.voltpayments.com and National Debit Card Network, www.nationaldebitcardnetwork.com is a scam. These two companies are just a new façade for Federated Payment Systems, ran by Jon Levitt and Scott Avery. This is another pathetic attempt to hide from a disgusting reputation.

Federated Payments has 5 other company names on its doors. All in an attempt to defraud merchants and sales people. They will even go so low as to contact businesses who previously had accounts with Federated Payments and try to rekindle relationships under a different name. The tactic is simple: Federated Payments will close a merchant’s account. Either because the merchant gets fed-up with the lies or poor service, or Federated closes the account intentionally. They then charge a cancellation fee, and then pitch the very same merchant, but under a different name. Just look at the websites – all located at 2 Huntington Quad, 3rd Floor.

They do the same thing with sales people. They will send out mass emails to everyone who has ever worked for them, but under a different company name such as Volt Payments or National Debit Card Network and try to fool these sales people into selling for them again.

We can independently confirm that Volt Payments and National Debit Card Network have aggressively advertised sales positions on job search websites. These job listings do not mention the companies’ affiliations with each other or with Federated Payments.

Other Sales Complaints

Other employee complaints mention an unprofessional work environment and intentional nondisclosure of important contract terms. Employee complaints like these do not reflect positively on any company, and Federated Payments already has a negative reputation when it comes to its sales and marketing tactics. We have therefore assigned Volt Payments a rating of “D” in this section. If you suspect that Volt Payments is charging you undisclosed fees, we recommend seeking a third-party statement audit.
