TSYS (Total System Services, Inc.) Online Reviews
Positive Reviews: Generally, customers agree that TSYS offers a wide range of support for varying types and sizes of companies with their customizable packages. Their security and anti-fraud measures are highly reliable. TSYS was just recently chosen as one of Ethisphere Institute’s “World’s Most Ethical Companies” for 2018.
Negative Reviews: Most negative comments about TSYS revolve around 3 topics: the early termination fee, billing issues, and terminal lease pricing. If you have the early termination fee jargon stricken from your contract when you sign up for TSYS services, it is possible they may still charge this fee if you leave TSYS before your contract expires. That is why it is important to save this documentation so you can have the early termination fee retracted if it is charged. Once your account has been closed, it is possible you may continue to see monthly charges from TSYS. This was another common complaint from past customers. It most cases, refunds were applied and the problem was corrected. When leasing terminals from TSYS, make note of non-cancellable lease contracts. These are typically 48-month terms. If you terminate TSYS services early, you will still maintain a terminal lease until the contract expires. Leasing tends to amount to thousands of dollars while purchasing can be much less expensive in the long run.
