              Horrible company, horrible customer service, very rude and challenging. How old my payout and caused four overdraft fees to my business account. I would leave no stars, but that was not an option.

              I never worked with them, but unluckily signed their documents and came to know later on that they make a bill of 700$ in a scam way and sent to collection. A shady way of doing business

              Of all the credit card companies I have done business with, I can safely say EMS is the best so far! Their service is excellent. They help with your business in every way necessary to handle today's credit and debit card customers.

              I give the EMS support team and equipment 5 stars. Miriam and the entire support team is quickly responsive when needed, and they communicate with such patience and encouragement...they are well trained at defusing stressful situations and finding solutions quickly to help their clients get back to successful business operations. I am a new business owner and my first time working with a POS system; EMS was recommended to me buy another business owner, and I am very pleased with this company. I am using their mobile POS equipment; my client transactions are super easy and quick. I give additional high recommendations to Miriam as she invested quality time into getting to know me and understanding my business...I also appreciate that she continues to take time building trust and confidence with her clients beyond signing the initial EMS contract...she is professional, personal, and genuinely cares about her clients.

              I would highly recommend EMS to all of my clients and business owners. My rep, Ryder Crouch, is just plain amazing. I have called him on his personal cell for day to day issues and emergency issues. He even answered my call on a Friday night at 11:30 and was able to resolve my issue. He handles all of my credit card processing issues. I have always had a positive experience with Ryder and the customer service team.

              I would give zero stars if I could. I’m an extremely busy business owner. I would warn an business owner to avoid EMS like the plague! Early cancellation fees, “hidden” non-compliance fees, poor customer service and communication, need I say more. DON’T DO IT! I was trying to choose the most cost effective option, THIS IS NOT IT!!
