Everything

Innaccurate Help content on website - regarding ACH forms for manual upload of clients

Support staff who give incorrect information, contradict website information

"No response, no service"

What do you like best about GoCardless?

Integration with Xero, and the idea of monthly subscription payments, but that was all it was: an idea. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoCardless?

Pretty much everything! Zero support, zero explanation for service interruption, zero to xero. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Not for large volume businesses"
0/5
What do you like best about GoCardless?

Platform has a simple API for processing bacs payments. Six years ago this was maybe best in market but it is now showing its age and lacks some advanced billing features available from other companies who offer BACs such as Stripe etc Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoCardless?

Not trustworthy. We process over 1/2 million+ per month in bacs transactions. After negotiating a volume discount a few years ago and spending a lot of time integrating GoCardless, they are now trying to raise rates to extortionate levels whilst adding on higher rates and fees for things that simply never existed before in this space such as far higher fees for refunds, failed payments, payment retries etc. It’s disappointing their management have adopted this strategy of trying to milk existing customers who have invested heavily in integration with GoCardless expecting them to accept far higher costs due to the difficulty and cost of moving. We were already paying a premium for the platform vs the cheapest rates we were quotes by other providers in the market. I do not recommend this company and we will be going to market and looking for a more trustworthy BACS payment partner at the next renewal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"If you want a company to hold your money for days on end, pick GoCardless"
0/5
What do you like best about GoCardless?

Nothing. The entire point of a money transfer company is to transfer money. So far, they haven't lived up to their side of the transaction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoCardless?

So far, its been over 9 days and the company still has my money.

My account was approved in a flurry of emails with their verification dept. The next day, I received an email which i missed that said, 'we need additional information before we can approve your account.' This was after the company had charged my client's bank account.

Even though I missed that email, I did log in to their system several times over several days to check status. No notices that my account was on hold showed up anywhere.

Now, even though my request was put on 'rush' status, there has been no response from the verification team.

Customer service has no power, and they refuse to escalate to someone in the company that does.

Beyond this, the implementation and integration process with Xero is awful. Multiple calls and emails to GoCardless customer service were required to get things to work.

The system is also not easy to use if you have problems. It looks straightforward from a design perspective, but if there are issues, its baffling. What does "Payout" vs "Collected" mean? Shouldn't an ACH transfer go straight from my client's bank to mine? Instead, this seems to indicate that it sits in GoCardless' bank for a period of time. This isn't explained anywhere.
