Initially a merchant account provider for just USA-based merchants, NXGEN Payment Services now operates internationally under the DBA - NXGEN International Payment Services. 

The firm offers both online and POS-based payment solutions to merchants under contracts provided by Elavon. 

NXGEN Payment Services faces a relatively low number of customer complaints and offers a variety of pricing options, which are described in further detail below.

NXGEN Payment Services Overview

 

NXGEN Payment Services is a merchant account provider that was founded in 2002 by Thomas Nitopi, who still acts as the firm’s CEO today. 

NXGEN initially only offered service to merchants residing in the U.S.A but the firm later launched a joint venture to operate in Canada under the DBA NXGEN Canada. This partnership is no longer active and NXGEN USA instead now operates internationally under the DBA - NXG International Payment Services.

The firm is headquartered in Whitefish, Montana, and is a registered ISO/MSP of Elavon and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. in Concord, California.

NXGEN advertises itself as “The global leader in payment solutions” and has achieved the following milestones to support that claim:


  • 2017 Elavon Arch Award - given to the Merchant Service Providers with the highest transaction volume in the industry

  • 2016 ISO Of The Year - the payment processing industry’s most prestigious award given to businesses making advancements in the payment industry

  • 2015 Largest MSP/ISO of Elavon (by processing volume)

NXGEN Payment Services Advertising & Sales

 
NXGEN appears to employ independent sales agents to market its services, which generally results in a larger percentage of customer complaints. This convention upholds with NXGEN as the firm faces a number of customer complaints for its allegedly aggressive sales tactics.

We have also located a few negative reviews from NXGEN’s own sales agents that accuse the firm of rolling out new “programs” that can automatically and unknowingly enroll merchant clients, leading to additional fees.

NXGEN Payment Services Contract & Terms

A sales rep from NXGEN has stated that the standard merchant contracts offered by NXGEN are provided by the larger merchant account provider, Elavon. 

These contracts include no early termination fee as well as the option to purchase or lease equipment. Merchants are generally advised to avoid entering equipment lease contracts as the cost is often much more expensive than purchasing the equipment outright.

A standard contract with International Bancard is a three-year agreement with automatic renewal. These contracts include an Early Termination Fee of $599 or the maximum amount dictated by state law, whichever amount is lesser.
