Elavon U.S.Reviews of elavon.com

A client recently initiated a chargeback, and Elavon withdrew the funds from my account without any prior notice. I was later told that an email had been sent two weeks earlier; however, a separate customer service representative contradicted this and confirmed that no such email was sent. That same representative also stated that, based on the type of chargeback involved, I should have received a temporary credit, yet no credit has been issued. As a direct result, my account has remained overdrawn for the past week, leading to five non-sufficient funds (NSF) charges totaling $125. Despite multiple follow-up calls, I have repeatedly been told that the credit would be issued would “tomorrow,” but no action has been taken. In the meantime, I have been unable to pay my other financial obligations due to the ongoing account deficit. The disputed chargeback is substantial, and I have already submitted 26 pages of documentation demonstrating that the services in question were fully performed. I have been advised that the review process may take up to three weeks, but the lack of communication, failure to follow proper procedures, on top of the already barely usable platform has left me with no choice but to start looking to take my business elsewhere.

on the first day of processing they put stop payment on charges as they erroneously indicated they are keyed in and because amount. So i decided to give credit to customers and charge them on my old processor. Elavon charged me for the refunds even though they never give me a credit.

Elavon terminated two of our merchant accounts on April 14, 2026 with no warning and no explanation beyond "too risky following periodic review." Both accounts had zero chargebacks and zero disputes. The following day they pulled $20,000 from our ministry's bank account via unauthorized ACH debit with no advance notice. Our bank filed a dispute and ruled in our favor, returning the funds. Despite multiple emails and voicemails to their Loss Prevention analyst, we received no meaningful response or explanation. Elavon's actions caused immediate and serious financial harm to our operations — threatening our ability to fulfill member commitments and pay suppliers for goods already in transit. No legitimate business or ministry should be subjected to this treatment without cause, notice, or recourse.

I have been a Talech/Elavon customer for almost 8 years. I ordered the latest model of my 8 year register system in March 2026. In attempts to navigate a minor issue with the new system, a tier-2 tech representative changed my user status from Standard Tier (for which I have paid monthly for 8 years) to Starter tier due to his erroneous presumption that my new equipment indicated my ineligibility to use standard level functions. The tech representative erroneously rebooted my system and reversed what he presumed were functions that a new system shouldn’t have while attempting to resolve my minor issue. Elavon refuses to take responsibility for their error and reverse this error to resolve this matter. My merchant services has worked for 2 days contacting upper management at Elavon without success. The whole situation is counterintuitive. Even if I were a starter client (which I am not), the whole objective is to have a client pay for higher level tiers of service—my merchant service and I have easily provided proof of purchase—so restore the standard status like I’m a new standard tier. Either way, the lack of professionalism is astounding. It make no sense why Elavon would risk losing an 8 year veteran willing to continue paying for standard tier over a simple resolution. Take ownership of your mistake and take the honorable steps to make it right. This is all surreal and counterintuitive—those are not adjectives that should characterize my experience with my register software company. Hear this: you guys are NOT the only software company out there . . . resolve this matter expeditiously or you won’t have to resolve it . . . termination of services will resolve it for YOU!

i reported them to BBB the claim goes beyond the handling of BBB. I have to hire a lawyer. Evalon hired a credit collector to collect the stolen goods . that their processor is not pci compliance. I need a lawyer who is credit card knowledgeable. the processors are robbers well dressed. retailers are in trouble when you have a processor that takes your hard earn work money. I believe you should send me your phone number. How to communicate with you. No just send you an email. A real person I can speak with. Phone number and extension or whatever it takes. That's how you reach out to your merchant when you want their money. You go introduce yourself and this is my product.

It was very nice talking to Shanique in order to cancel my service (as I no longer am running my main business) and explain charges to me. She was very helpful and professional, and warm. I am very happy with my recent encounter with Elavon. I will use Elavon again if needed.
