I strongly advise all business owners…

I strongly advise all business owners to avoid Global Payments Inc. 3550 Lenox Rd NE, Atlanta, GA 30326, US. They utilize a "bait-and-switch" tactic, offering low introductory fees only to implement massive, unannounced increases.
Our experience has been a nightmare: Unauthorized Deductions: They have withdrawn over $8,000 from our business account despite the account having zero activity since 2024.
Lack of Disclosure: They implemented a 38% fee hike without any notification and stopped providing statements, effectively obscuring the charges.
Refusal to Refund: Even after an audit proved these fees were inconsistent with our contract and activity level, they have refused to return the funds.
We were forced to have our bank issue a block on their access after our cease-and-desist orders were ignored. Check their BBB rating before signing anything—do not give this company access to your business accounts.

I’m very disappointed with my experience with Global Payments.
When I set up my account, the representative I dealt with, Charlie Sweeney, clearly explained that I would make a one-off payment for the card machine, and then only pay a percentage fee based on my sales. This sounded fair and reasonable, which is why I agreed to proceed.
However, after checking my account, I’ve noticed regular charges being taken — £4.40, £5.12, and in some months £26 or £45 even when I’ve had little or no sales. This was never clearly explained at the start.
When I contacted customer service today, I was told these charges are for renting the card machine and monthly VAT. This directly contradicts what I was originally told.
I feel misled by the information given at sign-up, and the pricing structure has not been transparent. I would advise others to carefully review all terms and conditions before committing.
