- We have been with Helcim for only a couple of months now, but I am so happy we decided to go with them! I usually hang up on the sales calls for Merchant Processing companies, but this time we needed one, and I couldn't be happier with our decision! I am beyond impressed with the customer service, and the processing platform as a whole. It's so fast and easy. Fixing things like account details, or payment information, is a breeze.

About Radu:
Radu Georgescu was born in Ploiesti, Romania in 1983. His family moved to Calgary, Canada in 1995. By the time he was a teenager he was fascinated with science and history. This lead him to pursue a degree in Geophysics.
Early in his career Radu, worked as an account manager for a software company specializing in geological and geophysical applications. He spent several years honing his customer support, networking and presentation skills before changing gears and heading into the field as a wellsite geologist.
With the swelling volatility of the oil and gas sector becoming an increasing concern, Radu looked to find a new industry to delve into, one with increased stability and a lot of room to grow. This led him to learning about the burgeoning field of financial technology.
In the summer of 2016 Radu joined Helcim, specializing in large merchant relationships, third party integrations, and customized solutions. Helcim’s focus on providing comprehensive, low cost business solutions in an honest and transparent manner resonated with Radu, which has driven his passion for this company and the industry as a whole.Date and Time
