Don't pay a ransom to run your business better.
Too many merchants stay with bad processors because leaving costs money. Early termination fees, equipment lease penalties — they add up. The Helcim Contract Buyout Program covers up to $500 so you can walk away clean.
Up to $500 credit applied to your processing fees
Cancellation & early termination fees
Many processors lock you into multi-year contracts with steep penalties for leaving early. Close your old account, send us the final statement, and we'll credit your Helcim account to offset those cancellation charges.
Equipment lease termination penalties
Non-cancelable equipment leases are one of the worst practices in payments — forcing you to pay thousands for hardware worth a fraction of that. We'll apply your credit toward those lease termination fees so you can break free.

Frequently asked questions.
-
The program covers up to $500 in early termination fees, account cancellation fees, and equipment lease buyout penalties charged by your previous payment processor.
-
The buyout is issued as a statement credit to your Helcim account. It will automatically be applied against your future Helcim payment processing fees.
-
No, we don't purchase or take your old hardware. The program covers the fees your old processor charges you to break your equipment lease. For your business, you'll purchase our affordable, modern equipment outright — meaning you own it 100%.
-
We just need to see the final statement or invoice from your previous processor. It must clearly show your business name and the specific cancellation or lease termination fees you were charged.
-
Never. Helcim operates entirely month-to-month. We have no contracts, no cancellation fees, and no hidden penalties. We believe in earning your business every single day.
-
Yes! If your cancellation fees exceed $500, we will still credit you the maximum amount of $500 to help significantly offset the cost of switching.
-
Once you submit your final documentation and begin actively processing with Helcim, our team will review your claim. Your credit is typically applied to your processing fees within 1 to 2 billing cycles.
