I run a double glazing company

I run a double glazing company. We have been going through absolute hell with Teya. Payments to us are constantly blocked by there fraud team. Due to the large amounts being paid to us. We got a payment that has not been cleared for over 4 weeks. To top that of they have now temporaly suspended our account. No wages can be paid no suppliers can be paid. Will be contacting our legal support today. Please stay well clear from them. They will be the reason my business goes under!!!!

Hi Christian,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your experience and understand the impact that payment restrictions can have on your business operations.

As a payments provider, we are required to monitor accounts and transactions on an ongoing basis. In certain cases, this may result in reviews and restrictions while checks are completed, particularly where higher-value transactions are involved. These processes are standard across the industry and are in place as part of our regulatory responsibilities.

We appreciate that this can be frustrating, and we apologise if the communication around this has not met expectations. As this relates to your specific account, we’re unable to discuss the details further on a public forum, but our team remains available to support you directly and provide updates where possible.

Kind regards,

Please do not use this company

Please do not use this company, I have had nothing but problems, I have had all my money taken fraudulent, they have not helped I am still waiting 8 weeks later, and there is still people trying to take money out of account. They do nothing, I have never received a bank card from them and have ordered 4, please go with a trusted bank that your money is protected with , it’s nearly cost us our business and left us in a lot of debt, hope this helps someone and not a victim like me

Very honest review regarding Try…

Very honest review regarding Try balance and my sign up to Teya. All seemed to go okay and Zak and Aimee from try balance helped immensely with the sign up and subsequent issues. I did feel the identity checks were a tad tiresome and lengthy. Got car finance easier and unfortunately they held my money till verified, not a massive issue. Also had issues with accessing the app and these only got resolved with input from my Try balance representative after best part of two weeks were I couldn't access the app. Now sorted though. Machine is great and next day payments always in my account early doors. Looking to see how reports turn out for simplicity and filing of tax return. All in all an acceptable service and I have and will continue to recommend them to other sole traders. I was offered lower rates of commission fees elsewhere but felt this company offered better value for money. Hopefully I get them reviewed after a few months.

Hi Jim,

Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed and balanced review. We’re really pleased to hear that Zak and Aimee were able to support you throughout your sign-up and that you’re happy with the terminal and next-day payouts.

We appreciate your feedback regarding the identity checks and initial access to the app. While these verification steps are a standard part of setting up and maintaining accounts, we understand they can feel lengthy, and we’re sorry for the delays you experienced getting fully up and running. Your comments around this have been noted and shared internally.

It’s great to hear that everything is now resolved and working well for you, and we’re glad you’re seeing value in the service. If you need any support with reporting or anything else as you continue using Teya, our team is always here to help.

Kind regards,

Great rates, modern and simple to use

The rates I got are extremely competitive. The machines are modern and easy to use. The app is excellent and has real time sales info. The feature of the business account is good, especially offering cash back when used to purchase things.

I find this Teya company to be spot on
Very helpful immediate feedback, easy to understand i.e. speaking English staff appear to be highly trained in customer care.
The people I’ve dealt with have so far been excellent.

And as a point of interest a lot of the people you deal with in this industry are what I call (sales prevention officers )
who should consider giving up their day job. 🧐😂

Exemplary customer service - Lynn!

I connected with Lynn, who was instantly friendly and welcoming. Lynn knew her stuff and just radiated with positive energy over the phone and was clearly passionate about Teya. Lynn knew all the required information and was able to clearly help me navigate through set up. So pleased!
I have had previous discomfort creating accounts elsewhere, but with the guidance of Lynn, I managed to enquire, sort and order a brand new card and terminal within an hour! Honestly, I couldn’t recommend Teya more, not just for the incredible customer service, but the ease of the application.

Not Recommended, they hold your fund for no reason

Updated : they emailed me today to say they terminating the contract without any clear explanation and they will hold my funds to a minimum of 180 days .. pure theft and scam

Strongly advise all effected client to submit their complaints to the ombudsman financial

Not Recommended, they hold your fund for no reasons

I recently moved to Teya from Barclaycard. The first month was great, but now I’m in my second month and Teya has been holding my funds for almost two weeks for “verification.”

They don’t provide a clear explanation of what they’re actually looking for, and every few days they get back in touch asking for additional documents. When you contact customer service, they’re unable to give any meaningful advice and won’t transfer you to a manager.

This is the downside of not working with a proper provider.

Hi Imad,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your experience and understand how concerning it can be when funds are restricted.

As a regulated payments provider, we are required to carry out ongoing verification and account reviews. In certain circumstances, this may result in additional documentation requests and, where applicable, temporary restrictions or the holding of funds in line with our terms and industry obligations. These processes are standard across the payments industry and are not applied without due consideration.

We appreciate that repeated requests and limited detail can be frustrating, and we apologise if the level of communication did not meet expectations. Your feedback has been shared internally.

As this relates to your specific account, we’re unable to go into further detail here, but our team remains available to correspond with you directly regarding any outstanding queries.

Kind regards,

Very disappointed with Teya. My business account was suddenly placed “under review” and they are holding my money for 180 days with no proper explanation.
Customer support refuses to provide any real details and just repeats that it’s part of “routine compliance checks.” Meanwhile, my funds are locked and I cannot access money that belongs to my business.
This has created serious cash flow problems. Holding a small business’s money for six months without transparency is unacceptable.
If you are considering using Teya for payments, be very careful. Based on my experience, this company can freeze your account and keep your money for a long time without clear communication.
I would not recommend Teya to other businesses

Hi John,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We understand how concerning it can be when access to funds is restricted, particularly when it impacts the day-to-day running of a business.

As a regulated payments provider, we are required to carry out ongoing monitoring of accounts and transactions. In certain circumstances, a review may result in account restrictions or the temporary holding of funds in line with our contractual terms and industry obligations. These measures form part of the regulatory framework within which payment institutions operate.

We appreciate that situations like this can be frustrating, especially where we are limited in the level of detail we’re able to share. Our support team aims to provide updates where possible while adhering to these requirements.

As this relates to the specifics of your account, we’re unable to discuss the matter further in a public forum, but our team remains available to correspond with you directly regarding any outstanding queries.
