    I Used Helcim for my business processing for almost a year. After only * issue ever a un justified chargeback which I disputed with documentation and covered with funds from my processing. They decided to close my account after I got upset with Rep ***** over these issues. Instead of reaching out to me for more information or to reach further resolution. I provided an enormous amount of Documentation and submitted necessary documents. I would like a formal apology from the company and a refund of $****** which has already been reversed by my client.

    Hi ******,Thank you for your feedback, we take concerns around communication seriously. As a financial service, we have strict obligations to adhere to Anti-Money-Laundering, Acceptable Use, and Risk policies. There were certain factors surrounding the details of the business and/or the transactions that were not in line with one or more of these policies, and as our team had communicated via email, we unfortunately had to make the decision to close the account. If you have any questions or concerns about the closure, our team is more than happy to assist through email as well. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and wish you the best going forward.- The Helcim Team
