10/10 experience

10/10 experience!
Doing business with helcim has been such a smooth process. Everything has been communicated to me so clearly, so far all of the employees have been so persistent to help me throughout this new venture. Ana was so friendly and very knowledgeable, I was able to ask her all the questions with very clear answers every time! Everyone is so personable, I appreciate that I have talked to humans rather than robots throughout the process of setting up my account & getting started!

Thank you to Ana & everyone on the team!

Top-Notch Customer Support from Gabriella

I’d like to give a big shoutout to Gabriella on your support team. I’ve had the pleasure of dealing with her twice since yesterday, and both times she was friendly, professional, and exceptionally clear in her communication. She made it incredibly easy to follow directions, and all my concerns were addressed thoroughly and efficiently.
Outstanding support! Kudos to Helcim!

Great company!

I've been working with Helcim for over a year now, and they are far superior to other payment processing platforms I've tried. The support for my small business is excellent. Their customer service is extremely helpful and quick to respond, they've always solved any problem or question I've had with speed and ease. Highly recommend!

Exceptional Service & Transparent Pricing

Our business recently transitioned to Helcim for our credit card processing needs, and the experience has been outstanding. Amy Kinnon provided prompt and thorough responses to all my inquiries, ensuring a smooth onboarding process.

Helcim's pricing model is transparent and cost-effective, especially beneficial for businesses wanting to save on processing fees by passing them along to the customer. The absence of monthly fees, long-term contracts, and hidden charges is a significant advantage.

The user-friendly dashboard and seamless integration with our existing systems have streamlined our operations. Additionally, their in-house customer support team is knowledgeable and accessible, offering assistance during extended hours.

I highly recommend Helcim to any business seeking reliable, transparent, and efficient credit card processing solutions.

Five stars for the customer service…

Five stars for the customer service at this company! Human, prompt, helpful: am thrilled to be with Helcim so far. Had some connection issues between my phone's Helcim app and the card reader and shared my feedback with their technical support. They got back to me within 24 hrs with some tips and haven't had the issue again so far. Am a new user and will see how my first sales go, using their service, but I have such comfort knowing that no matter what happens, there's great customer service to assist.

Excellent Experience with Helcim – Especially Thanks to Ana G.!
We recently signed up with Helcim and couldn’t be happier with the experience so far. Our account representative, Ana G., was incredibly helpful, patient, and knowledgeable. She took the time to walk us through every step of the setup process and clearly explained how the system works. Her friendly and professional approach made everything feel easy and stress-free.

You really can talk to a person!

For my onboarding call, Ana was very knowledgeable (which sadly you can't assume these days) and I really appreciated my conversation with her. Since I had already spent some time looking at the website, she made sure to answer my questions about things I hadn't figured out yet. She had paid attention to information I provided initially, and she really was focused on my own needs and situation, not just generic stuff. Her help with distinguishing between the types of invoices was just what I needed but didn't know it yet. I'm very excited to be starting with Helcim, and wish all businesses could provide this kind of service. Thank you Ana!

Excellent customer service

Shortly after signing up, I received a phone call asking if I needed any more information regarding the service. I was also given the email and cell number of a merchant success specialist for any future assistance. I am thoroughly impressed with their customer service so far, and have yet to experience such personalized customer service from rival companies.
