Sekure Merchant Solutions Overview
Also known as “Sekure Card Solutions” and “Sekure Cost Review,” Sekure Merchant Solutions is a merchant account provider that resells the services of North American Bancard. The company maintains at least three active websites at this time, all with slightly different names and layouts. In the past, these websites have deemphasized the company’s status as a credit card processor in favor of offering “statement analyses” and “cost reviews.” It is critical for merchants to understand that Sekure Merchant Solutions represents a single credit card processor (North American Bancard) and is not a third-party referral service with multiple partners. This means that merchants who submit statements for savings analyses through Sekure-branded companies will invariably receive a quote from North American Bancard.
The company’s most up-to-date brand and website, Sekure Merchant Solutions (sekuremerchants.com), does seem to clearly identify the company as a merchant account provider rather than a savings comparison service. This suggests that Sekure has shifted its overall marketing to some degree. The company even acknowledges that it serves over 1,200 merchants.
TransTech Merchant Group’s products and services include point-of-sale solutions, check acceptance, fleet card programs, gift and loyalty programs, mobile payment processing, merchant cash advance, and e-commerce solutions. The company offers phone, email, and live chat support on its website. Sekure Merchant Solutions does not publicly list the identities of any of its executive officers.

Online reputation and reviews
Sekure Merchant Solutions has received approximately 100 negative reviews online, although it’s difficult to track the exact number due to the company’s various brand names and marketing approach. Most of the complaints are related to the company’s aggressive telemarketing strategy, which merchants alternately describe as “deceptive” and “rude.” A significant number of the available complaints also describe misrepresentation of the company’s identity and affiliation with North American Bancard, while others cite a general lack of proper disclosure and the use of misleading rate quotes. In general, Sekure Merchant Solutions receives complaints for many of the same issues that North American Bancard receives complaints for, along with added accusations about telemarketing problems.

Do not share your bank account information with this company!!! I discontinued service with this company because of multiple unauthorized, undisclosed charges on my account, and months after closing my account they were still placing unauthorized charges directly from my checking account, the last one was an $895 charge for a terminal that I didn’t ask for, and already returned 6 weeks prior! They are CROOKS, do not trust them!!!

I could not agree more. This just happened to me. I was better off before. By the way, even when you talk to a representative and promise you that there are no contracts or terms and that you can cancel anytime is not true. The contract you end up signing does not mention terms but they did include a link which takes you to fourteen pages of small writing in which a clause is contained where it says you are agreeing to 36 month contract. These pages were not even mentioned by the representative and are not available when you sign the contract. You literally have to copy and paste the link in order for the “terms” to pop-up. Very deceptive and predatory practice. Representatives are nice but they do know very well what they are signing their customers into. Do not be deceived. They also charged me $800 dollars due to early termination which by the way they do not tell you when you call. They will not even warn you that you deceptively signed a predatory contract and that you are going to receive a letter charging you for early termination fees. Also, I received two separate labels to return the terminal and printer device with a ship to address different from the one stated on the letter where I should return the equipment. This is the first time I actually post something of this nature.

DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE!. I was promised rates that were not delivered. I am so glad I did not cancel my old service. DO NOT BELIEVE WHAT YOU ARE PITCHED!! Statements are confusing. You will be charged even if you do not use the service. This was supposed to save me money. It ended up costing me at least $800 in fees I would have never had if I just stuck with my old service. I am glad to be gone!
