Worldpay from FIS vs. FuturePay

Vantiv is excellent for companies that need to be able to accept credit cards and want to keep accurate reports. However, if you ever need to contact customer service or your account rep, be prepared to be extremely frustrated. Vantiv recently merged with another company, and we are having a very difficult time getting information from our account manager about how to access out account now.

• In my experience, Some of the WORST tech support/customer service I've ever experienced
• Two of the last four years, gift cards crashed for multiple days during our Black Friday sale
• Duplicate charges
• Fraud controls are weak and (for gift cards) cost extra for dubious protection
• It took them over a month (and constant badgering) to give us a copy of our contract
• The system crashes quite a bit, leaving our locations without any ability to charge customers
• I dread having to deal with WorldPay, yet have to on a daily, if not weekly, basis

• There are really no areas for functional improvements, beyond working to lower our cost.

As long as Vantiv continues to improve and we can get better responses from customer service, we will likely continue to use Vantiv. However, if customer service declines, we will likely look for something else

Many customer support employees of Vantiv do not seem to know much about the Vantiv website. I have been transferred around to as many as four different people to get an answer to what I thought was a simple question. I am not sure if it would be possible to receive adequate support for a more complex issue.

ANYONE would be better than Worldpay. My parent company requires its use. Otherwise, I would have run away screaming a long time ago.

Future pay has a nice niche, for individuals, not businesses. We also use QuickSpark leasing and Affirm payments.

• Positive- More clients are enticed to use World Pay when they hear the benefits.
• Negative- Customer service lacks so our clients tend to complain about that.
• Negative- Rates can be a little high depending if client is currently using a local bank.

Incentivized

• We are getting incrementally more revenue by offering FuturePay for customers that would otherwise have postponed a purchase.
