Merchant ID ********************************* has been withholding customer funds ($11,190.33) from my business since June 17th. We had several large transactions as soon as we received our account. Shortly after, risk mgt opened a review as the amounts were larger than anticipated. Clovers CS team scheduled calls with Risk Mgt who would never call us back. They then provided false call logs stating times they called. We sat by the phone over 4 calls that never came through. We finally got a helpful CS rep after weeks of calling who reached ***** and ******, the manager in charge of our Risk review. ****** reached out to all of the customers who placed charges and verified the transactions were legitimate. ******* clear words to me were that everything checks out and that the funds would be released within ***** hours. That was July. It is now September 26th. After waiting on the deposit of our funds to no avail, I reached out to an attorney who made contact with Fiserv (Clover). Not long after, our account was CLOSED on their end, saying our account was high risk. Thats fine, we postponed using the system as the funds were held. We have been in business over 3 years with over ********* in annual revenue. What Clover doesnt tell you when you sign up is that they can hold your funds for up to 11 months after closing your account. This was clearly retaliation for getting our legal team involved. Given that Clover verified all of the transactions with customers as legitimate, why are they still holding our money? Fiserv are the ones doing fraudulent practices and will hold your money past any reasonable timeframe they promise. Im tired of the lies and false promises. Looking at other complaints here they do this to so many companies. You run the risk of serious financial harm to your business using this processing company. Its looking like Court is the only way well get our moneyBusiness Response

Dear ****************,
As we have previously informed your attorney's office funds will remain on hold for 60 days from 9/27/2022. This is to insure that all product is delivered and no chargebacks are brought against your business. Please reach out after 11/27/2022 to request the review of the account and release of the remaining funds.
Respectfully

Better Business Bureau:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.
Again, another false statement. On 8/26 Fiserv informed my attorney that the funds would be released on October 23, 2022. Services rendered were in person parts installation with the exception of one transaction which was for steering components shipped to an out of town customer. We can provide tracking for that and receipts for all installation of the remaining transactions to prove they are completed. I have already fulfilled all of the services at the expense out of pocket. Fiserv has reviewed the transactions and confirmed with customers. You have absolutely no reason to be withholding these funds any longer. It is well past the window for chargebacks among most banks by now as these transactions are from June. Our company has been operating since 2019 and have never had a chargeback on an service within our store. I am requesting the entirety of the funds be released now. Youve held the funds long enough to protect your interests and at this point are causing significant harm to my company.

Dear BBB,I filed a complaint against this company on 1st September, 2022 about our funds being held up without any cause. Our complaint number is 17808079.They took a week and released our funds, and we were happy about it. After they released our funds, they are again stopping our funds to be released and now from last 1 weeks we are not getting any funds accumulating to estimate $27K.Today, I called them to ask about the reason and they responded back by saying that they are held by risk management team again. Also, we not received any correspondence from them and they have held up our funds for 1 week now. We are again getting into the same dilemma but we were assured that this would never happen again. Please check into this as a small business our survival is only with our cashflow.Thanks ********** MID: ************Business Response

They say they will contact you back but dont. I have all the mails of appointments which they made me wait by the phone and not one call. They still have my funds frozen. This will cause my business to shutdown its effecting my life very badly. Please help thanksBusiness Response

I started a new account with clover, I gave the appropriate figures of how much I will be running through the account. The first three went through perfectly. Then h*** broke loose, they are holding $2600 and will not give it back to me. I have sent them everything they needed and was on the phone (audiotaped) for hours trying to get this resolved. After looking at previous BBB complaints, I see this is something they do quite often for hard-working people. This caused major problems with my bank account. It's too bad I would have referred them to other businesses that I work with, I wouldn't recommend them now to a pile of donkey doo.Business Response

Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention. After review of the account we are able to advise that our our security team diverted several transactions to a reserve in order to validate their legitimacy. After discussion with the merchant these transactions were determined to be unqualified as they were processed on the merchant's own card. The account has been closed, and the funds were released to the merchant's bank account on 9/23/2022. Please allow 2-3 business days for the funds to be available. Thank you.Initial Complaint

I lost my wallet in may 2022. I canceled my debt card with money network. I received a letter stating I needed to send verification of ID. I had lost my wallet so I didnt have a copy to send until late June 2022. I mailed a copy of my temporary ID along with copy of ss card and electric bill. Once I received my actual ID I mailed that along with my electric bill again. This was in late June. I faxed the information without a response. I had my little brother fax it for me in case I did something wrong. This was on Aug 16th. When I spoke with money network, they said they didnt receive it then said I sent it to the incorrect number because I dialed a one first. We are in different area codes. The man asked me to fox again without the one so my brother did that for me and the and of course it wouldnt go through previous to trying rhst I told the man It was completed, but he insisted I sent it to the wrong number. I also emailed the information again in both Aug and September. Many times when I called in July I was unable to get through to a person because I was on hold for 20 and 30 minutes. The time I got through the wait was 40 minutes but I wasnt even able to be helped because *** was told my phone number and email didnt match their records. I feel I keep sending requested information without any results and kept getting told I need to wait 10 to 14 days for a response to a email and 3 days for a fax. I have done both along with mailing to the **** Box. I would appreciate any assistance you could give any getting my card sent to me. This card has money on it!!! I need access to funds!!Business Response

On 06/12/19 ****************** began using Clover's Merchant Services (account # ***************** and remained a customer of theirs until 1/20/21, at which time we requested to cancel services. We were sent a Merchant Services "Close Merchant Account Request Form" to which we filled out and faxed as instructed on the form Clover provided. Our bookkeeper realized we had continued to be charged by Clover a total of $2756.30 from 3/2/21-8/1/22. I quickly notified Clover of the neglect to close our account and requested a refund since there were NO SERVICES USED from the request of the closing of our account with them on 1/20/21. I was informed by customer service (***********************************) that we had not closed our account and would not be eligible for a refund. I emailed a copy of charges and the original form we had faxed to them of which he denied as being ever receiving BUT does admit that faxes are "difficult to find". As a fellow business, this company's practices seem less than honest and fair. We were delighted with the over all performance of their software and credit card processing while their customer service and equipment were lacking.One other note I would like to make, for the month of January 2022, they charged our bank $208.85 when all other monthly charges had been and continued thereafter to be $149.85. We are uncertain why that charge was more. Thank you for your help in this matter.Business Response

Fraudulent charge on my credit card. Billmatrix though Fiserv. Lots of phone numbers that dont connect. Phone number listed does not pick up and disconnects.

I am a painting business owner who used Clover to process a payment for $25,000 from one of my bigger customers back on 8/18/22. I had submitted similar invoices to Clover when signing up with them to prevent transactions of that size from getting flagged as fraudulent. Unfortunately, this did not work and the payment from 8/18 was automatically flagged. But due to the invoice submission request on sign up, I tried to proactively call Clover on 8/19 to make sure no further documentation was needed from me. I was informed that nothing further was needed and to expect my funds by 8/22 at the latest. On 8/22 I was made aware of the flagging by someone calling to ask for further documentation, which I promptly provided. On 8/23 I was informed that the flagging process was going to take another 72hrs to complete so, at that point, I asked to have the whole transaction rejected so my customer could write me a check instead. ******************** then told me to process a 'refund' through their dashboard where I would be charged a refund service fee. I had not received any funds so I would not agree to pay a refund service fee. And since that time, they have held those funds from both myself and my customer. ******************** keeps telling me that Fiserv has control of the flagging process and Fiserv is refusing to speak to either of us. My banks' business account manager has escalated this to her corporate office and I've contacted a lawyer for advisement. I cannot seem to get in touch with a human who has the power to solve my problem. This has caused my company undue financial hardship and due to that fact I broke down and processed a "refund" on their dashboard. At the time of this writing, they have now had 16 calendar days and ********************************************** the computer age of 2022 that should be more than sufficient! As an A+ rated BBB business myself I am hoping you will be able to help expeditiously rectify my situation.Business Response

Please be advised the refund of $25,000.000 was issued back to your customer on 9/7/2022. There is a $.10 transaction fee which may be billed for the refund. If you choose, you may call customer service after it bills with your monthly fees to request it be refunded to you.
We believe this fully resolves your concerns. Should you have any additional questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.
