Extremely poor response/service for very high fees.

I am utterly disappointed with Yoco, from feeling so excited when we first signed up. I deeply regret having switched from Absa. Not only is connectivity the worst I've had from a merchant in 22 years but service is even worse than Absa, and I thought Absa was the worst. The call centre just keeps you holding forever, and they don't call back despite saying that you won't lose your place. Clearly they are being managed by inefficient, and untrained staff who also don't know how to solve issues. The fees are simply not worth the added features which most merchants now have. We were paying 1.9% with Absa but chose to move for flexibility + added features etc. but this has not been to our advantage. I also sent two Facebook messages and they haven't rep****. The most frustrating thing is that you can't speak to a human, and one that knows what they're doing.

Reviewer Update
Good morning, I just want you to know that I requested a review of my Yoco rates weeks ago, along with the connectivity issue. I spoke with a consultant, who I have written to yet again to advise that I haven't received a response. He has not responded to my emails. I have twice written to the support, I have called and they were going to escalate it, and weeks later I still have not had a response. It is utterly appalling. Seriously, what on earth is wrong with this company??? They started off so well but honestly they are now worse than Telkom, and I thought no-one could be worse than them. You get people signed up and then forget about them - that is the quickest way to lose business. I will be looking for an alternative provider.
