**BEWARE ** There are plenty of good Merchant Services providers out there. This is not one of them.
EVO Canada is the Canadian brand this company operates under. EVO is nothing more than a sales front. Global Payments is the back-end service provider, and they refuse to talk to EVOs customers, even though my account statements have Global Payments name at the top.
My dealings with this campany have been a nightmare, to say the least. A brief summary of my ongoing battle follows:
- Funds are not being deposited to my account. My first (and only) deposit took over a month to appear. Nothing since.
- Calls to EVO yeild no results, no answers, no details, no returned calls.
- Customers are being double-charged, and the funds are not being passed on to me.
- Ive been locked out of my virtual terminal, and cant view details of these charges, nor can I refund the customer, as I do not have access to my account. EVO will not refund the charges for me, as they have now closed my account without explanation.
At last count, I have placed 35 calls to EVO. While no solution or concete answer has ever resulted, I have been promised a call back at the end of nearly every one of these calls. To date, EVO has called me back three times, but only to say Well call you when we have a solution. I am frequently told something to the effect of the person who handles that is not in the office right now.
Ive run out of both options and patience trying to deal with EVO. I am currently seeking resolution through the Better Business Bureau. Perhaps this will at least result in a reply.

Payment Providers
AUTHOR: Scammers Beware - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, October 18, 2012
Never purchase without 3 quotes:
Always check the records, Like BBB affiliation, if they're not a member Why??
Are they Compliant with the FCAC, Canada's Code of Conduct:
Always deal with a live person, never phone or fax unless necessary:
Ask who the provider is, they company taking your money:
Cancellation fees, set up fees, and penalties, always ask what they are:
Is the terminal a separate supplier, and the fees etc, on top of the rent or lease:
Ask for real reference's and someone to talk to:
In my experience, watch out for the following companies:
*Any one selling through Global Payments. Global has a security breach with Visa and MC. It's like driving your car without insurance. Google Global Payments breach
*Pivotal and Monex were reported by CBC and others for fraud, and illegal deductions. Google them
*Moneris has a habit of steady increases and fees after signing. Get a guarantee on future rates and timetable.
*In descending order, I recommend "Elavon" best record... "TD" good record but pricey... "First Data" big and pricey from New York... "Chase" pricey, with unreasonable contracts, from New York.
I hope this helps,... and yes we are an Elavon ISO, with A+ BBB, for your peace of mind, and the best pricing and service in the industry. mseaton@merchant1payments A Canadian Company.

I am curious if you were able to receive any resolution to the issues you were facing and what has happened since then. We are still working on our issues, still no concrete resolutions but hoping that at least some of our frustrations can be dealt with. At this point, it's not looking very optimistic because we keep getting the standard "we'll look into it and get back to you" response, just dragging and dragging it out.
Thanks,
Michelle
