According to Chosen Payments

On its website, Chosen Payments includes customer testimonials that list a customer’s first name and last initial, though the reviews don’t include a business name for the reviewer. The reviews praise the helpful and professional customer service, great rates, and ease of switching from other proessing companies.

Chosen also has an official Facebook page that has 217 reviews. The bulk are positive, giving the company five stars, but 27 one-star reviews and a handful of three- and four-star reviews bring the overall rating to 4.5 stars.

The 5-star reviews echo the compliments on the company’s website, praising Chosen Payments’ customer service and follow up, willingness to answer questions, and great pricing that has helped the businesses flourish. Many of the reviews are from business owners in the transportation/limo industry.

The majority of the 1-star reviews are simply the star rating with no text details. However, the ones that provide details state that the company has terrible employees and that the company continues to call businesses that have stated they’re not interested in Chosen Payments’ services. In the case of negative reviews that include text information, Chosen Payments responds to the reviewer. In one case, Chosen indicates that they don’t have a record of the reviewer doing business with Chosen, and request that the customer get in touch by phone so they can look up the customer’s account and help resolve any issues. In another case, Chosen’s CEO doesn’t believe the reviewer’s experience and states the possibility of the reviewer being a competitor trying to bring down the company’s rating.
