I opened a small account for a reader I opened a small account for a reader. I decided that I didn't need it so I phoned to ask that they close it. I was told that it would be closed by the representative. I later discovered after nearly nine months they were charging me for inactivity. I never used the machine at all. They stole over $1,100 from my account and refused to pay it back. They offered three months of it back and I requested it all. After going to the BBB they lied and still refused to pay me the money they owe me. I have prayed that nothing good happens for the individuals or this company for the past year and it seems that my prayers are working. Nothing good will come to this company because they cheat, lie and steal from people trying to do business with them. Don't trust a word that comes out of their mouths. I hope they go out of business real soon and 2024 finds them all out of jobs. They are scammers!!

Scam Like many of the other companies here, we set up our account with Leaders and very first transaction, the money was put on hold. They did not provide any notification and all following transactions were put on. Swipe simple showed they were authorized. Finally got in touch with someone and they stated they wanted to do a risk review. Over a month later after not answering emails they decided they would hold the money for 180 days. I closed the account that day, now I'm just waiting for over $10,000 in revenue my company earned

They held our funds and then closed our… They held our funds and then closed our account the manager for their risk department, because they do not want to do Business with Black/LatinX Businesses. They are racist.

ACCOUNT UNDER REVIEW - FUNDS WITHHELD We started using Leaders, The Merchant Services Company in May-2021. In those 2 years our account has been under “REVIEW” twice and credit card charges were blocked from being deposited into our bank account. The company that is in charge of the “REVIEW” is called PaySafe Group. The current “REVIEW” started on April 10, 2023 and is ongoing. We have not had any credit card charges deposited into our bank account since the “REVIEW” started. We did not know our account was under review until May 4th, 2023 which was 25 days after the review started. We learned about the “REVIEW” when we received an email from PaySafe Group requesting documentation, which we forwarded on May 5th, 2023. We was told on May 8th the review was complete and the money would be deposited into our account. On May 16th, 2023 We contacted PaySafe Group because the money was still not deposited into our bank account. I spoke to someone named Steve that worked at PaySafe Group (he refused to give me his last name) and was told that my account was still under review and our company would need to forward 3 months of bank statements. When I complained that our money had already been held up for 36 days Steve told me that our company was a liability to Leaders and that PaySafe could hold our funds for up to 6 months. During my conversation with Steve he was curt, rude and unprofessional. The trend that I notice with PaySafe Group is they tell you the review will only take a couple of days and request documentation. When the couple of day has expired PaySafe Group will request more documentation. In this manner PaySafe Group drags the “REVIEW” process out making it take longer than expected. The process could take could take days, weeks or months. When you deal with PaySafe Group expect to be lied to by their employees. Any company dealing with PaySafe Group should expect to as treated as though you are guilty until proven innocent.

Totally unprofessional Totally unprofessional, risk department specially Mikel is a rude and does not resolve anything, the merchant holds the transactions for unreasonable things
