The account manager that helped me was very knowledgeable about the industry and worked with me to make sure I had everything I needed. Pros I like that the pricing was very competitive and I was able to talk to one person throughout the whole process to get set up, instead of being bounced around from department to department Cons The only thing that slowed down the pace of my application was my own lack of knowledge about the industry and not having all the necessary financial records readily available. My account manager was very patient and walked me through the entire process.

Cons Their Risk always blocked my account, something I had never had a problem with using any other system. They always inquired on relationships I had with my clients. Way too complicated and the system itself was like a dinosaur. Review Source R Reviewer CEO Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Best Merchant Service Provider Ever" April 8, 2020 5.0 From the first conversation it was a breeze working with \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\]. They saved me both money, time and frustration. No longer do I call some offshore office with non English speaking people only to be told no no no be put on hold endlessly and pass the buck. Now one call to \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] and she handles anything I need. But the absolute best is when we receive and envelope in the mail with one of \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] Dollar bill origami's. We have a whole collection of them in our office. Thanks You for excellent care and service. John Limbocker CEO Internet Dominators Pros Ease of implementation and cost saving it brought to the table.

I would like to easily control messaging and what shows up on the customers statement, as chargebacks have become a problem.

The issue is I'm not sure of the fees till they are deducted from my account. The service is slightly more expensive than I thought. Last month I had paid over $300.. which is almost 10% of my earnings. Other than that, No problems. Also the bank held funds twice without telling me. I had to make several calls to find out why. Pros Software works great with Simplicity Collect. I could pull up an account and easily charge customers card. Cons No complaints really with the software. Switching from accounts is confusing. I have two merchant accounts..

Pros We appreciate the card-swiper, the easy to use screens, the email confirmations, and the close-batch reports. Cons The security scans are difficult for us because retail is not our primary function. Review Source R Reviewer Owner Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "NDMS is a great service " April 3, 2020 5.0 Pros Once setup, it is very easy to use. It is a secure way to process payments.

Review Source R Reviewer Accountant Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "NDMS Merchant Account Review" April 14, 2020 4.0 We use this company as a third party through another program we use so our experience with them is minimal. We run reports monthly for tracking purposes and reconciling. Pros The product is easy to use. It is the software associated with another software package that we use so we did not have a choice on which merchant company to use. Cons It is expensive for what we use it for. We do minimal credit card transactions each year but needed to be able to accept credit cards through another software program that we use and this was the merchant service associated with that software program.

Most of the time whenever I have a problem I can email my point of contact and he'll respond within a a few hours and help me with the issue. Cons I wish that there were more opportunities for us to get our processing fee lowered, but I understand because of our industry it has to stay the same. Review Source R Reviewer Director of Finance Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Infrequent usage, but good interface" April 1, 2020 5.0 We are collecting more payments by using this service. Pros The information is easy to find and the reporting is good. Deposits post to my account clearly. Cons I don't have anything I dislike about the product. There are features I haven't used, this is a portal that is only used by us for one departments, so our usage is pretty small, so I haven't had a need to figure out downloads or imports.
