Becoming a New Merchant was a Breeze!
Dealing with the Sales Support Team was easy. They provided all information and answered questions with no ambiguity. New account was set up very quickly.

Beware of this company!!!
Got set up in matter of minutes. Charged a card for 10,833.42 said it was paid successfully. Next day got logged out said I wasn’t fit for their company and would refund all payments to customer. Customer never got the money and I never got it either. Worse company I’ve ever used. Don’t trust them at all!!

Hi David,
We apologize for your experience here, whilst we would love to onboard every merchant to our platform, we can't always clear the requisite regulatory hurdles.
We do conduct reviews on accounts a multiple points. As a financial services provider we have to ensure we are adhering to KYB, KYC and risk policies. The outcomes of these reviews will determine our ability to continue the business relationship.
Any funds processed prior to the closure of your account will be returned to your customer.

AJ, Monish and the Entire Team at Helcim
AJ, Monish and the entire team at Helcim have been absolutely awesome! We have now fully transitioned our business to Helcim and could not be happier. Love the ease with which I can customize my Helcim experience on the portal to suit our business' needs and how easy it is to get support from these guys when we need it. Helcim has been absolutely awesome and we are very proud to partner with a Canadian company. You guys rock and we look forward to many years together! :)

Do not get SIM card for WIFI & BAD costumer service
Today I talked to Gabriela from Helcim. I got an issue with recurring lack of network connection. She was absolutely of no service to me (DC Petropolis) nor to the company she's working for. She was completely ok with canceling my service and offer no help at all. Do not get Helcim SIM card with WiFi since network would fail and you won't be able to process transactions unless u can connect to other WiFi (which basically defeats the purpose)

Fast & Responsive!
Very fast and responsive!
Any time we have any questions they are on top of it! Pretty easy maneuvering the website, and there are videos to help guide you for an easy set up. When paying with credit card, it tells the customer before they pay what the fee will be, so they can choose to use ACH if they don't want to pay the fee. It's so nice that they can just pay from home! Customer love convenience!
