THE ONLY TIME THAT YOU GET SCREWED -RIPPED OFF- CHEATED, ETC.. IS IF YOU DON'T DO YOUR DUE DILGENT AND ASK QUESTIONS GET ANSWERS IN WRITING.
I HAVE BEEN SALES REP FOR OVER 15 YEARS..NONE OF MY MERCHANTS EVER HAD ISSUES LIKE THE ONES I READ HEAR...
MOST MERCHANTS ARE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING FOR NOTHING...WHEN SOME ONE OFFERS THEM THAT THEY GRAB AT IT
REMEBR IF ITS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE..THAN IT IS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.
THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO PRICE A MERCHANT .. UNFORTUNATELY THERE ARE SALES REPS WHO CHEAT PEOPLE..BUT THAT IS IN EVERY BUSINESS...READ YOUR APPLICATION...READ YOUR APPLICATION... ANYTHING THAT THE REP PROMISES SHOULD BE HAND WRITING IF IT NOT ON THE APPLICATION AND THEN INITIAL BY THEM AND YOU!!! CALL THE COMPANY AND VERIFY THAT EVERYTHING YOU WERE PROMISE IS IN FACT DOABLE!!!

NEVER, NEVER NEVER LEASE A TERMINAL...TERMINALS SHOULD COST NO MORE THAN $250 TO $350 UNLESS YOU NEED A SPECIALZED TERMINAL( WIRELESS, IP)

I have had nothing but the best experience from this company. I believe anyone complaining on this board is either a disgruntled ex employee, or even worse, a competitor that cannot handle their low rates and amazing customer service. I have been with them for years, and their lifetime warranty on equipment, and lowest rates guaranteed have always been honored. their sales reps are always available to assist, and their attention to detail surpasses any other company out there. I truly believe that a company with an A- with the BBB would not have this rating should these clearly unfounded complaints were the case. to Sandy, Mike and Sushi, why not disclose who you are if these complaints are true? why hide behind an alias? I understand that as a competitor, it must be frustrating to not have the ability to compete with their rates and exceptional service, but do you not think people will realize on their own this is all you are doing?

This company will tell you anything you want to hear. They will rip you off so they can make money. Rich Meeker and Joe Parisi are the worst. I did business with them and they are such good liars. They tell you are getting a wholesale rate but you are just paying for the lease. You can buy a new machine for $300-$400 INSTEAD OF PAYING FOR A 4 YEAR LEASE! Please do not do business with this company. Their employees are very deceiving. It's not even worth calling in to the number they give you. They will not answer or you might get directed to Jim Grant who knows nothing about the business. This is to help everyone out there, DO NOT DO ANY BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY! THEY LIE BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE!!!

beware! I recently started a biz and opened a checking acount with wells fargo bank. My banker told me to expect a call from their merchant services soon in order to set up for excepting credit cards in my biz. So in a few days I recieved a call from someone caiming to be with leaders merchant services. I asked" are you with Wells Fargo?" they said yes. So I did all the paper work assuming that I was doing biz with my bank-Wells Fargo. I never thought twice about the fact that they may be someone other than who they implied. All of their documents that they have you sign have the name Wells fargo on the letter heads and use the name through out leader's merchant services contracts. So I signed up. I got pulled aside at my bank a week later - My banked said that because I did not sign up with wells fargo she would have to change my biz bank program to one that was a monthly fee. I told her that there must of been a mistake with wells because all the docs I signed had wells fargo name all over it. So after she looked into it she called and told me that what they are doing is illegal and that wells fargo is not leaders merchant services- But I had to deal with it on my end. So now I say beware it is easier than you think to get frauded. Leaders merchant services is not part of Wells Fargo- and they will tell you that they are just to get your account fusterated and betrayed- [email protected]
