***AVOID EMS AT ALL COSTS***
I believe EMS is operating in a fraudulent manner in which they hold merchant funds indefinitely without justification. In December of 2023, our company opened a merchant account with EMS after going through a thorough underwriting process in which EMS reviewed our past credit card activity and financials. Our company does short term villa rentals and deals in relatively large dollar transactions. From January 18-21, we settled 6 credit card transactions totalling $46,982. EMS has still not forwarded these fund to our bank nearly 3 weeks later - a far cry from the 1 to 4 day norm. EMS requested follow up information on 3 of the transactions for verification purposes. Despite promptly providing all requested information, they have still not forwarded the funds from these transactions. They have shown no concern for the difficult position they've put our company in by holding these funds, as we must pay the villa owners for these short term rental contracts even though EMS refuses to forward the funds from the related credit card transactions. We've noticed many of the other TrustPilot reviews have labeled EMS as a fraud and a scam. Sadly, we've arrived at the same conclusion and believe that EMS is not operating in good faith and may have in fact wandered into criminal territory with the way they conduct business.
