Will terminate your account without warning
We integrated with BlueSnap a few years ago so that our users could apply for payment processing accounts with them. They make their applicants jump through all kinds of hoops and when you provide them with everything they request they stop responding. Then after years of working with them, they shut down our integration without ever contacting us first and we again have to reach out to them for weeks to get an answer. We do not recommend using BlueSnap as a merchant account or integrating with their company.

Hi Jessica,
The situation you described is very unusual and it is not in line with our work protocols.
Being a financial company, we must run multiple background checks on our merchants before they go live and start processing thousands of dollars of transactions in dozens of countries.
In spite of the complicated regulations we have to follow – we managed to boil down the boarding process to a few short steps to minimize the effort involved in opening multiple payment channels via several banks.
We make our profit from getting more merchants to process with us, unless we see an immediate threat to cardholders (which is very uncommon thanks to our background checks) -the harsh decision to terminate one of our accounts would involve multiple discussions with the merchant in attempt to prevent the account closure.
You did not include your details and this is a public platform, so we cannot get into the details of what happened with your account – but we welcome your feedback and we would be very grateful if you will get in touch with us so we can investigate and explain what happened.

Thank you for your kind review. We will relay your feedback to Lindsay M. on our support team! We are pleased to have you as one of our valued customers.
"Can't disclose why we decline applications"
I was interested in using BlueSnap. I provide all the valid information they asked for and I was told:
"After reviewing your merchant application, our Underwriting department and Risk department both informed us that unfortunately, we BlueSnap, have to decline your Merchant Application.
Unfortunately, we can't disclose why we decline applications.."
This is ridiculous. All the info I gave is valid, I'm a good citizen, clean background. Not a single reason why they won't approve me. And that "can't disclose why we decline applications" is such a disrespectful manner to handle a potential client.
I also like to mention that while trying to understand why I was declined I waited 2 weeks for a response until I got the quote I pasted here.
To sum-up I had a horrible experience with them, I won't recommend it.

Dear Yair,
We thank you for your interest in BlueSnap.
BlueSnap is committed to providing exceptional global payment services to our merchants and is continuously working to improve and expand our platform.
However, it's important to note that each payment provider has its own underwriting and risk assessment processes to adhere by. These processes typically involve evaluating various factors. Like any financial institution, unfortunately, we can’t disclose those factors that led us to our decision to decline your application.
We nevertheless have no doubt that you are a good-standing citizen, and we can guarantee those factors didn’t play any part in our final decision to decline your application.
Your application was processed through all the available channels after your request for a re-review, even double-checking whenever we can to improve the odds of your application being accepted, hence the prolonged time it has taken us to provide a verdict.
We are more than happy to review your application again in the future in case you decide to apply for an account with BlueSnap again.

Thank you for the positive review, Raivo! We are happy to hear our customer support team is assisting you and meeting your needs. We truly value your business with us and look forward to continuing working with you.
Bluesnap is an EXCELLENT partner!
We have been doing business with Bluesnap for many years (I am guessing between 10-12). Our company sells a few products that are considered high-risk in the internet business arena. Of all the processing companies we have used and continue to use, Bluesnap has proven to be our best partner. They communicate well. Our Account Executive always replies to our inquiries quickly, and problems get solved as quickly as possible.
I would highly recommend them to any business.

Hi Mike,
BlueSnap is an online payments platform, providing e-commerce tools to thousands of businesses.
Looking at your complaint, it seems like you are waiting for a product that was purchased from one of our merchants.
I am certain that this is just a shipping delay, but in order to get more details, you must contact the merchant's customer service team directly.
If you need the contact email of the merchant or more details - please contact our Shopper Support team:
https://home.bluesnap.com/contact-us/#i-see-bluesnap-on-my-statement
Hopefully, this information is helpful and you can update your review.
They are holding my money without any explanation
I also used bluesnap, as in the review below, to withdraw money from PlayerAuction. After a month of waiting, the support reported that "we regret to inform you that will be unable to continue with your application at present" without explanation, they just took my money (~800$) for themselves

Hello, unfortunately your request to process with PlayerAuction using BlueSnap's platform was declined.
We informed you about this decision back in August and we updated PlayerAuction about the status of your account.
The transaction you are referring to, was created while your account was still under review.
Since your vendor account was not activated eventually, the transaction is now listed in the PlayerAuction account - if you wish to get more details about its status and ask for it to be canceled, I suggest reaching out to your contact in PlayerAuction, or contacting our Support team.
It is clear that this topic is important to you, and we would be happy to help, but we cannot share more details in this public forum.

Thanks for the feedback, Yarden!
Always happy to help!
Money is gone
Used BlueSnap to get my money received from a website (Player Auction) to be sent to my bank, nothing happened and the money is gone.
Contacted BlueSnap multiple times and there's no response.
And of course, my bank received nothing.

I don't recommend, avoid this company/service at all cost.
EDIT: They sent the money and everything got settled, just took too much time. Thanks after all!

Dear Mahmoud,
We apologize for the time it took to approve your request to process with BlueSnap, we review every application that comes in and our team needed more details from you, which you eventually shared with us, and the account setup was done.
Since there was no activity in the account since it was created, I’m not sure which payment you are referring to – could you please contact our support team directly so we can share more information in private?
4 MILLION DOLLAR. BE CAREFUL.
I'm the owner of a big company. I used Blusnap's services for almost a year. Through them I sold over 21 Million Dollar for a total of over 60 thousand transactions.
I highly regret not to be the one who signed their ambiguous agreement, my former business partner did. Be careful. There is a 3 page contract that seems to be fair, but please make sure you click on the link on the second page that redirects you to 120 pages of unrealistic conditions. They basically state that they are, at their own discretion, completely entitled to do whatever they like with your own money. They accept chargebacks requests for purchases made over a year before without conducting any investigation. The usual time frame is 120 days. They just take the money from your account, so you can pay the chargeback fee, and also the dispute fee. It's a win win, they make money when you sell, they make money when you lose. But this is nothing. The worst is that they suspended my account for over 6 months, blocking any payouts and holding 4 Million Dollars of my money. I'm still waiting for them to release my 4 Million Dollars. They blocked my account because they believed, at their own discretion, that $300,000 of chargebacks compared to 21 Million dollars in sales was a risk for their company, so to cover a hypothetical loss of Three Hundred thousand dollars(still under dispute) they decided to hold 4 Million Dollars for 6 months.
6 Months has passed and they're still holding my money. I tried to reach out to them every day, but they're customer service is unqualified, they don't know how to answer even simple questions. There is this mysterious BlueSnap Risk department that responds to your email once every 2 months and a half, and tries to buy time to keep your money. They make up excuses and ask you for documents they don't really need. This is a fraud and embezzlement attempt. Because of them I lost a 15 Million dollar deal I've been working on for years.
You can probably guess what my next move will be.
Hope this will be helpful!

Dear Farbi,
We rarely end up in a situation where we have no choice but to suspend an account. Naturally, you are not happy about it, and neither are we.
Since this is a public platform, we cannot get into the specifics of your case, but there are a few facts that we must insist on after reading your feedback:
1. Our Terms and Conditions are not 120 pages long.
Working with hundreds of banks and payment partners, our contract may refer to other bank agreements and privacy statements required by law – which is meant to protect you as a seller. Our legal agreements are rather similar to other payment service providers and are actually shorter. We would generally recommend watching out for any financial company that does not elaborate on their terms and conditions.
2. The allowed duration between a sale and a chargeback depends on the chargeback reason and the card issuer.
We are fighting to dispute chargebacks using the best tools and automations in the industry. It is in our best interest to make sure that fewer chargebacks are associated with our business. Chargebacks usually involve penalties, and fees are collected to cover these costs. This is not a ‘Win Win’ situation for us.
3. We rarely hold our merchant funds, and when we do, it’s a temporary solution to protect shoppers.
We reserve funds to allow suspended merchants to refund shopper transactions and prevent chargebacks. Typically, any portion of the reserved funds that is not used for refunds, is paid back after the suspended period is over and the account is closed.
4. Our Customer Service team is committed to reply to any merchant request within 24 business hours. We are also available on Live Chat and Phones.
Our team must involve the Risk or Legal departments in cases that involve account suspension. We take these cases very seriously and we dedicate the necessary time to review every account, find another solution and prevent suspension. With that being said, it does not take us 2 months to reply. We know this for a fact, because we regularly check our communications and continue to make sure that we meet our SLAs.
We are sorry that things ended the way they did. It is obvious that we would prefer to keep our merchants active and profitable. Hopefully, the clarifications above are useful. We invite you to continue this discussion with us directly and in private, so we can talk about the details of your suspension and the status of your reserved funds.
BlueSnap has GREAT customer service!

Not a good solution for a small business
Before you settle with BlueSnap, please be aware that in 6 months they will start charging you $75 monthly account maintenance fee for each month where your sales don't exceed $5000. The fee will be deducted from your account, whether or not you have any money there, so the negative balance on your account may accumulate. Here is a quote from a BlueSnap representative:
"If your account has sales less than $5000 per month, it will be assessed a $75 fee for each month you process below that threshold; as you process sales, it will pay that fee.
If your account is inactive (no sales processed) for a period of several months, it would be suspended; any negative balance at that time would be required to be paid per the terms of the merchant agreement you signed at account opening."

Hi there,
Here at BlueSnap, we care about transparency, and we make sure that our fees are clearly communicated in our merchant agreement and if needed, by our customer support team.
We encourage our clients to leverage the full potential of our platform to increase their revenue. Our team works hard to improve and maintain our systems and tools to ensure that we are a leader in the payments industry.
These improvements can be costly, and like any other service provider, we are required to cover our costs.
All our clients are required to pay a maintenance fee, but we waive this fee in two cases:
1. When the seller reaches a minimal gross sales amount of $5,000/month
2. During the first 6 months of activity since it takes some time to get up to speed.
Unlike other payment service providers, BlueSnap separates this fee from the processing commissions, so that we can waive it once you reach the minimal monthly limit. Separating this fee also allows us to provide new accounts with a discount on their costs in the recent 6 months.
We understand that smaller businesses may not reach the $5,000 threshold and that is why we always ask for the expected monthly revenue during the sales discovery stage. In any case, where a smaller business cannot meet this criterion, we recommend seeking another payment service provider.
I hope this information helps clarify the situation and we wish you luck in your search for another payment provider.
Great support!
I am very grateful to Oscar and the team for all the help. It was absolutely fantastic. I really appreciate the patience they had with us! I can definitely recommend Bluesnap.

Hi Jamie,
We are sorry to read your feedback and for any frustration we may have caused. As one of the leaders in global payment processing, we do our best to welcome as many businesses as possible to use our services. However, as a financial organization we are required to follow a strict set of rules when it comes to accepting and onboarding businesses to our platform. Unfortunately, after reviewing your application, we found that your business is not the best fit for our services at this time. Again, we apologize for any frustration we may have caused and wish you the best of luck in your search for a payment provider.
