This company calls our **************** continuously every day. They act like they are our credit card processing company and try to request financial information. I have told them not to call back and they continue to do so. I feel like they are very misleading and deceptive in their business practices and seem to enjoy harassing unsuspecting businesses. Very unprofessional! Please STOP calling!Business response

I tried to change the back my merchant deposits go. I could not get the required documents for the bank so the merchant company would not deposit my money.

Hello *******, thank you for bringing this to our attention. We apologize for any inconvenience you have experienced. Since we became aware of this issue,our team has been in regular contact with you in order to help get this resolved. To clarify, Sekure Payment Experts in no way has access to your funds or the ability to have them released. Rather, the funds are being held by your card processor because they have not received the information for a suitable replacement bank account where they can deposit your funds. We have been working with the processor on your behalf to get this situation resolved. As discussed, the unavailability of a suitable bank account accessible to the processor has unfortunately left them with no authorized option but to issue the balance owed by check. You will be receiving all funds owed to you, minus the agreed-upon processing fees which have accrued since your account went on hold.If there is anything further, please email us at ***************************************************************************** for our prompt attention.Initial Complaint

I signed with Sekure Merchant back in August of 2022, when I spoke to the expert and the service, he told me it was a fixed % per transaction plus a small fee per transaction. For example 3.5% + $0.10 per transaction. However, later on, they started charging me $25 per month for a minimum fee, plus they added a portal fee that I did not even request for an additional $14.95 per month, then after 3-4 months of being with them (not even one full year), they charged me a $144 regulatory annual fee, that I was not told about. The experts should inform all this information to their customers, this is horrible customer service. Now they I try to cancel my account, they are bullying me and telling me I need to pay a $700 termination fee. These guys are bullies, watch out for them. I am an individual small business trying to process transactions in a normal way, but these guys have done nothing but take fees from me without my knowledge. I try to reach out to them and they are very hard to contact via email, and even by phone. I would not trust this company, I am not just speaking out of grudge, but truly they are harassing their customers. The contract puts a lot of small writing that they try to squeeze in the agreement. I would not deal with this company any further.Business response

3/7/2023. Sekure Merchant is the most harassing place of business that has ever walked this Earth. We are a small dental office in *********** that is extremely busy and we get continual calls from salesmen and women from this company that ends in tying up our phones from our patients and tasks that we have to get done. Sekure Merchant also does not take no for a answer. I cannot tell you how many times I have hung up, said no, begged and pleaded with these people to please leave us alone because they are wasting our time and theirs. All I ask is that this company stop reaching out to our place of business and never contact us again.Business response

On Monday 02/06/23, due to good SEO on ****** searches, the phone number for Sekure Merchant Solutions, pops up first when searching for Square Customer Service's phone number. As I was having a problem with my Square POS at the time, agents from Sekure Merchants posed as Square Agents asking my information and giving me excuses why my Square account was not working. As an apology for Square not working, they offered to help lower our credit card processing fees. After seeing their "resolution", it soon made no sense that this would have been offered by Square. I understand that I called them due to strategic placement of a phone number online, but posing as Square agents to get information...that is deception.Business response
