Scandal surrounding Payment Farm: Partners report missing payments
Payment Farm has faced serious allegations from one of its partners in the payment industry. The allegations concern a possible failure to meet financial obligations and the blocking of communication after significant payments had accumulated, including rolling reserve funds and settlements for processed transactions.
For several months, the company consistently processed transactions without any major issues. However, according to the partners, the situation changed drastically once it was time to make payments.
After that, it is claimed, Payment Farm representatives completely stopped responding. Messages in work chats, emails, personal appeals, and phone calls remain unanswered. No official explanations or repayment schedules have been provided.
As a result, according to the complainants, a significant amount of funds remains unpaid. This includes both withheld reserve funds (rolling reserve) and payments for already processed customer transactions.
The partner company describes the situation as “alarming and unprofessional,” emphasizing that transparency, trust, and accountability are key in the payments sector.
The information was made public for market participants so that other PSP providers and merchants could take this experience into account when selecting partners.

As a reminder, in Kyiv, seven members of an organized group have been notified of suspicion; according to the investigation, they issued online loans in cryptocurrency and, through threats, forced clients to pay inflated interest rates and penalties.
Social media users drew attention to Artur Yermolayev, a well-known phone scammer in Ukraine, who was caught by law enforcement, but, after paying 8.5 million euros, allegedly left for Estonia and is currently traveling the world, sometimes by private jet.
