FAQ .

  • I've already signed up with another credit card processing company. How can I make the switch to Helcim?

    Switching from another provider to Helcim is completely possible. If you have any questions about switching, getting out of an unfair contract, or just about the industry in general, our switching guide and Merchant Experience team is always happy to provide guidance and honest advice.

  • Are there any monthly fees, contracts, or cancellation fees with Helcim?

    Absolutely not! We know merchants hate being nickel-and-dimed, and so do we! If you are accepting payments with Helcim, you will never see any monthly fees, cancellation fees, or hidden charges. We value honesty and transparency when it comes to business, and that means not.

  • What type of funding options does Helcim offer?

    Helcim uses gross deposits, meaning your total sales are deposited directly into your bank account, with processing fees deducted as a separate line item on the same day. This ensures accurate daily revenue and cash flow data so you always know exactly how much you've earned and what's available.

  • What are the rates for Helcim's payment processing services?

    Helcim is one of the few credit card processing companies that offers Interchange Plus Pricing to all businesses, with no contracts, monthly fees, or hidden charges. Check out our blog to learn why we recommend Interchange Plus Pricing, or visit our pricing page for a complete breakdown on how it works.
