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.Business Response

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.Initial Complaint

I am filing a complaint regarding Ivy Pays failure to deposit funds owed to my business and its lack of customer support.A client payment was successfully processed through Ivy Pay on June 19, 2026. As of July 2, 2026, I have still not received the funds.

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.

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.

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

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.Business Response

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.Business Response

Ivy Pay is a credit card processor which I utilized to place a charge on 11/10/25. Ivy Pay erroneously placed a duplicate charge to the recipient's debit card, doubling this transaction without my authorization. The recipient then disputed the duplicate charge with her bank who completed their investigation and confirmed that the second charge was in fact a duplicate placed in error by Ivy Pay. The bank (REMOVED) then reversed the erroneous, fraudulent, duplicate charge. Ivy Pay then deducted funds in the amount of $194.50 from my account, stating that the charge was reversed and denying any record on their end of a duplicate charge being filed. Extensive documentation has been provided to Ivy Pay by myself, the recipient of the charge, and by the recipient's bank REMOVEDincluding bank statements clearly demonstrating the duplicate charge on statements both immediate to the placement of the charge in November 2025 and statements from 2026 demonstrating the duplicate charge still having been processed on the account (thus demonstrating that the duplicate was not a temporary hold that was later reversed. Rather, the duplicate remained fully processed and reflected as such on statements months later). REMOVEDconducted a full investigation into the matter and concluded their investigation on 2/9/26 stating that they investigated and confirmed the duplicate charge and that they consider the dispute now closed following a statement credit of $194.50. The recipient of the duplicate charge spoke to upper management at REMOVEDon 2/10/26 who further confirmed that the dispute is resolved subsequent to REMOVEDverifying the second charge was in fact an erroneous duplicate placed by Ivy Pay. At this point Ivy Pay has simply stolen funds from me and is refusing to remedy this issue despite ample documentation being provided regarding the duplicate, fraudulent charge. This is fundamentally concerning and illegal behavior and must be remedied.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: I have not heard back from any customer service representative for nearly 2mos now. My emails have been simply ignored without resolution though I have reached out several times on the same ticket with additional documentation, reiteration of previously sent documentation which was ignored, etc. The issue remains unresolved. This response is extremely frustrating and publicly indicative of precisely the issue I am describing. Ivy Pay appears to enjoy fraudulently charging members, actively covering up such fraud within their own systems despite overwhelming documentation being supplied, and then simply refuse to even reply to customer service outreach of any form for resolution.I have reached out via BBB due to receiving no resolution, no escalation, and for the past nearly 2mos, no response whatsoever, regarding this issue. I have, however, spoken to other colleagues who are fighting the same issue with Ivy Pay thus demonstrating that this is a recurring issue with fraud that the public needs to be made aware of if Ivy Pay has no intention of correcting this.
A credit card processor engaging in widespread patterns of placing fraudulent charges to consumers and then doubly-profiting by withdrawing the equivalent of the already placed fraudulent charge from other consumer's accounts is gravely concerning. Your job is to process the payments as I input them, not to steal money from me and the recipients of my charges.
Sincerely,
REMOVED
