Benchmark Merchant Solutions Fraudulent practices. Do not believe these people or EVER giver them access to your business bank account! Amherst, New York

The exact same thing happened to my husband.  He was contacted about loaning money for his small business and paying it back through the credit card sales for the business.  The amount of money offered was too small to accept but Benchmark charged our bank account for credit card processing and told our previous company that we were changing to them even though we did not accept their offer of a loan.  The employee that refuted this claim on your site said Benchmark does not make loans.  It is advertised directly on their website to make a cash advance on your credit card sales.  There is an application to fill out directly on their website also.  This is a scam to underhandedly get credit card processing from small businesses in this extremely tight financial time.  Fraud in the worst way!

Thank you for your cooperation.

Benchmark Merchant Solutions does not today and never has offered merchant cash advances. Benchmark Merchant Solutions offers credit card processing services. Many cash advance providers use Benchmark Merchant Solutions as their credit card processing provider, however we do not offer credit card processing agreements contingent upon a cash advance. There are certainly no emails between us offering or referring to cash advances.

We take pride in our customer service and are not in the habit of ignoring phone calls nor emails. This anonymous report contains many disturbing accusations against a reputable company with no evidence to support it. We never charge any fees without signed contracts authorizing them.
