Money on hold. NO response from BNA

I withdrew money from Bodog and received an email that I would receive another email on Sept. 29, 2023. I spoke to Bodog agent and advised that I would have to reach out to Interact. I spoke to an agent there and was told that I need to reach out to my bank or BNA payment system, as Interact told me that the withdrawn money was "on hold". I spoke to my bank and they informed me that they do not see any on hold amount. I sent an email to BNA twice and no response. I tried calling and on their phone states "No available agents".

BNA Review

We have been using BNA terminals for over 15 years. During that time, we found their technical staff to be extremely well trained and knowledgeable about the devices.
The staff is helpful to quickly determine the problem and rectify the situation. If a terminal was to be replaced, it was prepared and shipped same day and at our location first thing next morning.
Being in the retail business, this was very important to us. Thank you to all the staff at BNA and looking forward to many years ahead.

Hi Kassandra,

Apologies for the delay in response. During the second half of the year (2022) there has been an uprise in illegal spam ad fraud activity being conducted via text message and by people we can only assume are identity fraudsters.

Please note that we do not use text messages to communicate with our customers, so the text you received was sent by someone impersonating BNA Smart Payments.

We apologize for the inconvenience you experienced. If you happened to click on the link you may want to consider using Equifax’s fraud detection service to ensure your information and accounts are secure.

If you need immediate assistance or additional support, please call us at 1-877-432-2644 or fill out our online form.

Unauthorized debit from account - filing police report

Received an unsolicited request for $200 from this company. It appears they had access to the email account it was sent to and it was approved within minutes of it being sent before we could decline the request. Filed a complaint with our bank and now filing a police report for this blatantly illegal scam.

Hello,

We're sorry to hear about your experience with these transactions. It's certainly never our intention to have anyone waiting unnecessarily!
Your directDebit+ transaction was cancelled by the system within 24 hours and an email was sent out advising you of that - please let us know if that did not make its way to you.
As for your e-Transfer, we are investigating what may have caused the delay, but your transaction was updated. Please let us know if there’s anything else we can do to help.

BNA takes e-transfers from Tonybet customers and gives nothing in return

I was playing on Tonybet casino, I deposited once, everything fine, the 2nd deposit, it came up as BNA smartpayments on behalf of Tonybet, I processed the $100 e-transfer and nothing was credited to my account, I wasn't able to add the code that they give you with every e-transfer but I assumed it would go through....NOT!! 4 months later, I have been blocked from Tonybet and BNA Smartpayments won't return a call in Canada. I want my money back before I get the authorities involved and my lawyer.

Hello Ray. We're sorry to hear you weren't able to have a smoother experience. If you would forward the details of your transaction to help@premierpay.ca we would be happy to look into it for you immediately. The situation you describe in your review is a payment request. If you initiated a transaction online with one of our merchants, you would have received a request for payment and it looks like you fulfilled it correctly, judging by what you have said. Have a great holiday and please do reach out to us so we can help.

AMAZING customer service

AMAZING customer service. I have been dealing with a company who BNA processes money transfers for and long story short i made a transfer through with that company and unfortunately my deposit got taken from my bank but never made it to my bankroll.
This company who i made the payment with has no phone number to call, takes 24 hours to respond to emails. I finally figure out BNA is the company who processes the payments and i was able to talk to someone instantly from the company and come up with a solution. I am still waiting for my funds but they will be cleared soon. Customer service was amazing.. thanks guys!!

Had a sudden programming issue with our machines that was totally unexpected and caused us to not have any POS for a few days.

Hi BH.

Thank you for taking the time to respond to our feedback request. It’s important to us and we take it seriously.

The situation you described was unacceptable to you and unacceptable to BNA as well. The circumstance resulted from a process that was out of our direct control and should never have happened. We have introduced new processes that will ensure a repeat of that situation can never happen again.

Again, thank you for your input.
