Common Moneris Complaints

Why businesses are looking for Moneris alternatives

Long-Term Contracts

Moneris typically locks businesses into 3-5 year contracts with steep cancellation penalties, often $500 or more.

Tiered Pricing Confusion

Tiered pricing makes it nearly impossible to know your true costs. "Qualified" rates are advertised, but most transactions fall into higher-cost tiers.

Hidden Fees

Many merchants report discovering unexpected fees months after signing up: PCI non-compliance, statement fees, batch fees, and more.

Equipment Leases

Equipment leases can cost $50-100/month for terminals worth a few hundred dollars. Over a 5-year lease, you pay 5x the equipment value.
