I have a Zoompass account which I have never used. I put $120 on it a few years ago as a test, and did nothing with it. Last week, I decided to withdraw the money out of Zoompass into my bank account. I did $119.50 since they have a $0.50 to do this. That's fine. I got an email confirmation that it will take 4 to 6 business days. That's fine. I logged out. Everything good.
Some time later, I got another confirmation email that says I requested $100 to be taken from my bank account into Zoompass, which I did not do. Then some time later, I got another email like that. Sure enough, a day or two later, $200 was out of my bank account. There is clearly a system glitch that caused this. I respectfully asked the support team (Violette) that the money be promptly placed back into my account. Preferably by wire so that it is instant, then they can look into the glitch later.
Instead, I've been getting the run-around. Everyone is "looking into" the issue. In essence, it is theft, and the kind of action that, without response, would get EFT/Payment licenses revoked.
I've now had enough, and the customer service at Zoompass is terrible, and not sympathetic to the situation.
I would stay away from Zoompass, and I've seen similar reports to what I'm saying here, so I'm not alone.

I finally received information about when the money will be back into my account, and some technical information on what caused it. While the system gave no feedback as to what was going on, I'm happy that the team was able to finally pinpoint the problem and execute the steps to get my money back.
I can say that once the issue got to the appropriate people, the team became very responsive and detailed as to what exactly are the next steps. The money was deposited back into my account so the situation is resolved.

In regards to the complaint filed; we have carried further investigation and determined the cause of the inquiry.
We have concluded that multiple $100 withdrawal requests were made due to a recurring 'Add Funds' request initated by the customer at the time of account creation, several years ago. When the customer confirmed his banking information last week, the recurring debits were initiated.
We have been working with the customer since last week to resolve this issue in the quickest and most efficient way possible, and wish to continue towards a prompt resolution to avoid causing them further greivance.
