    My therapist has been charging me through IVY for years. Recently I started getting an additional $4.95 charge every time my card was charged for the session. I tried contacting IVY support on multiple occasions, and no one gets back to me. My therapist has reached out to them, and they said they can't talk to her about it. I tried contacting them again and still no response. I am still getting charged every time and don't know how to make it stop.

    After successfully operating my professional medical telepsychiatry account on REMOVEDfor a month without issue, my account was improperly locked immediately following a formal demand for payout transmitted via email and REMOVEDCertified Mail (Tracking #REMOVED8902 3589 0900 0044 7622 64) on September 17, 2026.Ivy Pay locked the account under the false pretext of unverified medical licensure, despite my active credentials and having already processed transactions for a full month. This punitive lockout effectively withholds earned professional revenue totaling $904.44 net ($930.00 gross) across the following transfer dates:09/13/2026: $87.53 net ($90.00 charge, Ref #REMOVED, ID REMOVED/09/2026: $58.35 net ($60.00 charge, Ref #REMOVED, ID REMOVED/08/2026: $58.35 net ($60.00 charge, Ref #REMOVED, ID REMOVED/08/2026: $87.53 net ($90.00 charge, Ref #REMOVED, ID REMOVED/08/2026: $87.53 net ($90.00 charge, Ref #REMOVED, ID REMOVED/07/2026: $525.15 net ($540.00 charge, Ref #REMOVED, ID REMOVEDResolution:Immediate restoration of full access to my professional account.Written confirmation of license verification.Immediate release of the full net balance of $904.44 along with corresponding ACH trace identifiers.

    Complaint: 25299082

    I am rejecting this response because:

    The business's response is entirely unsatisfactory and fails to address the core issue: the prolonged and improper withholding of $904.44 in net professional earnings ($930.00 gross) across six specific transfer dates spanning September 7, 2026, through September 13, 2026.


    Issuing a blanket denial and citing general compliance protocols does not account for earned professional revenue processed successfully over a month of active practice, only to be locked out immediately following formal payment demands. The business has failed to provide the requested ACH tracing identifiers, proof of transaction settlement, or any legitimate justification for withholding these funds.


    I request that the Better Business Bureau note this response as unsatisfactory and keep the case active until Ivy Pay either releases the full net balance of $904.44 with corresponding ACH trace numbers or provides valid, documented proof of deposit.


    Sincerely,

    Dr. REMOVED

    Complaint: 25299082

    I am rejecting this response because:
    The business's responsecharacterizing this documented financial dispute as having "no merit or truth"is entirely unsatisfactory, evasive, and fails to address the core issue: the prolonged and improper withholding of $904.44 in net professional earnings ($930.00 gross)across six specific transfer dates spanning September 7 through September 13,2026.
    Issuing a blanket dismissal under the guise of general compliance protocols does not account for earned professional revenue processed successfully over a full month of active telepsychiatry practice, which was abruptly locked out immediately following formal payment demands. Defendant REMOVEDhas failed to provide the requested ACH tracing identifiers, proof of transaction settlement, or any legitimate regulatory justification for seizing these funds.
    I request that the Better Business Bureau keep this case active until Ivy Pay either releases the full net balance of $904.44 with corresponding ACH trace numbers or provides valid, documented proof of deposit.

    We have attempted to actually talk with someone at Ivy Pay to resolve a very simple problem. We simply wanted to up date an insurance card and co-pay credit card. None of the emails we sent provided helpful information. The service provider simply said Ivy Pay handles all of that and washed her hands of the issue. Im convinced, based on email contend from Ivy Pay that all responses are AI generated. We now have to interrupt much needed service because there is no human to speak with. Worst customer service REMOVEDever experienced.

As of July 2, 2026, I have still not received the funds. Even accounting for the Juneteenth holiday, this delay is far beyond the expected processing time.I have submitted multiple support tickets and have received no response. There is no readily available customer service phone number, and I have been unable to reach anyone despite repeated REMOVEDa licensed therapist in private practice, I rely on timely payment processing to operate my business. It is unacceptable for client funds to be withheld without any communication or explanation.I am requesting that Ivy Pay:1. Immediately release the funds owed to me.2. Provide an explanation for the delay.3. Respond to my support requests and improve access to customer support for providers.I have documentation of the payment and my repeated attempts to contact Ivy Pay and can provide it upon request.

    Clients cards are getting declined through REMOVEDpay system, but their bank shows the money being taken out. So Ivy Pay is not paying me and saying that the credit card was declined. They have absolutely no customer service where you can speak to a human. My customers, REMOVEDtried to reach out to them regarding this issue and no one gets back to REMOVEDnot only am I not getting paid but my clients are getting money stolen

    Business Response

    Date: 07/07/2026

    Thank you for your message. We take payment concerns seriously and strive to ensure our billing processes are accurate and transparent. For privacy reasons, we cannot discuss or verify the details of any individual's account in a public forum.

    Generally speaking, when a payment attempt is unsuccessful, our system relies on the response provided by the payment network and the customer's financial institution. If a transaction is declined, the payment is not collected, and any outstanding balance remains due. We do not have the ability to override or alter a decline response issued by a card issuer.

    Our Payments team carefully reviews questions of this nature and, when appropriate, can provide additional information regarding the payment status and the processor's response through our secure support channels.

    We encourage contact with our Support team directly so we protect confidentiality and help with anything else in the future at REMOVED 

    Warmly, REMOVEDat Ivy

    Complaint: 24999008

    I am rejecting this response because:

    I am not sending emails back-and-forth with customer service. Theres absolutely no way for myself or clients to get a hold of customer service. There are far too many issues with this company and their payment system. I work with clients who are millionaires and their cards are not getting declined anywhere else, but with Ivy Pay, even after contacting their credit card companies.

    I have lost out on hundreds of dollars due to clients feeling like theyre getting taken advantage of due to this company

    On April 16 2026, I received a $4.95 charge from Ivy Pay labelled 'IVY INSUR ASSIST'. In reviewing my charges, I'd never seemingly been charged this before and don't still know what the charge is for, so I reached out on the same day (April 16) asking for details. I received a response from REMOVEDasking for my phone number associated with the account which I provided within the same REMOVEDmy first and second message, I reached out respectfully and kindly.I reached out if there was an update on April 18th, then at least twice more through the site trying to get any response to what the $4.95 charge was for. Ivy Pay has not responded yet as of today, April 30th 2026. I received another charge of $4.95 today (April 30th 2026).I am the client of a therapist using this business, so I do not have the luxury of going elsewhere. I am requesting an explanation of the charge, and/or reimbursement and discontinuation of additional charges made without explanation.

    This is the most difficult pay system Ive ever encountered. It is impossible to contact customer service to assist with app support. I am simply trying to open the app and change my method of payment and it wont even acknowledge my email, Not sure why any therapist or provider would use such an awful system when there is probably a significant number of better options.Ivy pay do better. I would tell anyone and everyone to steer clear.
