Pearl Payments Customer Reviews

DO NOT SIGN-UP, BEWARE!!!!

THEY ARE FRAUD COMPANY THAT WILL SIGN YOUR LEASE FOR MERCHANT PROCESSING MACHINE WHICH YOU CANNOT CANCEL EARLY. THEY HAD ME LOCKED ON 4 YEAR LEASE FOR A MACHINE THAT I AM NOT USING AND WHEN I CALLED TO CANCEL. THEY SAID I HAVE TO CALL THIRD PARTY TO CANCEL.

RATES ARE HIGH, MACHINES ARE REALLY SLOW AND NEVER WORKED, AND LOCK YOU INTO PAYING FOR EQUIPMENT BY PUTTING YOU LEASING IT TO YOU.

BUYER BEWARE! DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! From not paying our early termination fees as they promised they would, to charging us WAY MORE monthly than we had been paying in processing fees, to not being able to get in touch with anyone, to having to pay early termination fees again to get out of the lease with Ascentium when we finally left Pearl(after paying early termination fees when we left our previous processor that we never received reimbursement for), to being bounced from one employee to another…this company is a nightmare! We ended up being out right around $7,000 in fees and overcharges that they miraculously never could do anything about, although they were “looking into it” the entire time. When we first signed up with them they couldn’t get us a machine that would work. This was right at the beginning of the pandemic. We were charged for 6 months(including non-use fees as we weren’t processing any payments through them). Those 6 months of fees were never reimbursed although it was their fault we couldn’t process during this time! What this company does should be criminal! I should have read reviews on them before we switched. They sent a salesman to our company, we did not seek them out. They were a nightmare from the beginning.

I have been trying to contact them for my account for weeks. every number including customer service goes to voice mail which is ok but not if they all have full mail boxes. going to stop automatic payment see how fast they get incontact with me then.

When I started working with Pearl Payments I did not know very much about POS companies or products. After several months I received a Clover mini. This did not work as it was too small. After several more months I finally received an EHopper. Keep in mind, each of these companies use a different credit card processing company. The EHopper was way too big so again, after several months I finally received the E500 Pax. Perfect size, works great.

The problem is that now one cancelled the credit card processing contracts that went with the Clover and EHopper. Although I had no choice, these companies will not cancel. They are 48months term. I have called Pearl, written Pearl, left voicemails. I have been promised that it will be taken care of, but to date, I am still paying over $300 to credit card processing companies I not longer are using.

I will be filing a complaint and cancel all business dealing with Pearl.

DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY! THEY WILL SELL YOU SOMETHING AND THEN IGNORE YOU!
