Who it's not for	Startups wanting self-serve, transparent pricing	High-volume merchants . Stripe/Square beat its fees
Privacy	No known public vulnerabilities found in the sources reviewed.¹⁵	Encryption and buyer protection are real, but a confirmed breach and account-freeze complaints weigh heavily.
Support quality	E-check buyers report weeks-long delays	Freeze complaints; 'zero customer back-up'
Public sentiment	Trustpilot reviewers complain about pricing and multi-week e-check delivery delays, while third-party payroll reviews are mixed.^⁸	App Store users love it, but WalletHub and Trustpilot reviewers cite freezes, blocked payments, and weak support.
