Payovation
Kristie Brennan Merchant Account Provider steals merchants funds. Wilmington

Hey there,

Signed up with payovation.com. Out of Australia but US base is in DE, USA.

I process credit cards regularly so their proposition seemed fair: higher rates for higher risk merchants. Well, I got going slowly to test them. Took forever to get the first release and was a measly $1,000 out of tens of thousands. But: they did have a roll date.

My contact: Kristie Brennan, kept asking me to process more. Give more volume to them. Which could have been done but I was being slow waiting on payment history with them.

Well, my second release dates comes and goes. I send emails to Kristie and no reply. I email everyone there asking about my release as it is now past due and I get no reply. I call in and some aides, Jenny Pringle, tells me that there has been a holiday. So sorry. But she will let me know.

A few hours later I get an email from Ross Tremby at payovation.com telling me that my account was too high in chargebacks and my account was shut down and: oh, by the way sir: we estimate that all of your fees to us will be eating all of your funds with us. Thanks and bye bye.

Well, they are criminals in my minds eye. And since they are in another country I cannot really sue equitably.

Do not do business with them. They control all back ends on the processing so they can make the figures do anything they want. You can do business with them if you want to be cheated.

Read more about them and for their history look up intabill.com and their past as payovation.com is made up of intabill employees. And they formed payovation.com right before intabill got shut down.

Wish that I had done more research: but if I can save another traveler from losing money to these shysters: I am doing ok.

Distilled version: they will approve your merchant account, let you process, and then shut you down and keep all your funds claiming fees due to them.
