Do not get fooled by the "friendly" recording from the President of this bank when you call them. I was referred to their merchant services for accepting credit/debit cards from my clients. Honestly, I did not have any problems with any of the employees at this branch; Especially, one of their managers "Kirk". He always took care of anything I needed help with. The guy who scammed me still admits that I will own a terminal that I later on found out I'm leasing for 4 years. I forwarded all the emails/texts to Curtis, the president. I never heard back from him and once I called a couple more times and warned about getting my lawyer involved, he finally called me back and stated "I can clearly see he lied to you about it but I cannot control what he says." He even told me he will continue to refer all future customers to the same guy who lied to me. He also repeatedly told me the guy who they referred me to is not affiliated with Fidelity and I proved him wrong after showing him the documents. It clearly states that he does work for the bank. He still denies it and says it was a "third party." All I asked was to remove me from their scam. I have turned in all the documentation to my lawyer who handles similar situations for my company as well as filing a complaint with the BBB soon. Do not get fooled by the message you hear at the beginning from the president of the bank. Funny thing is, the rate I was told I would get charged for my transactions seems like a good rate, but I have never once used the terminal or their services. I will not do business with dishonest people/companies. It is very unfortunate because I would have most likely used their services for good if they hadn't been dishonest with me. I look forward to resolving this matter in court soon. Hope it will help any of you considering doing business with this bank as well.
In the meantime, they are drafting the monthly fees for the "lease" from a new account I have opened at another bank. I had my bank put a stop to their transactions and now they are running them under a variety of names to avoid the stop payment. I am disputing every transaction but this is just more proof of what a horrible experience this has been so far. read more
