Overview
Merchant accounts.

The hardest part of setting up a merchant account is the acquiring bank, it is difficult for a small business owner to find a bank that will handle their credit card transactions. The credit cards companies penalize for chargeback ratios of over 2%. A chargeback happens when a cardholder disputes a charge and simply charges back, as eCommerce is a "no cardholder present transaction" the credit card companies have managed to assign this responsibility to the merchant first. If the merchant cannot handle the penalties and fees, then the bank is held responsible. So naturally the acquiring banks only want to handle merchants who have a good deal of exciting assets, and spotless credit history. Often a deposit is required, with large set up fees. A trading volume in excess of $50 000.00 would also be required by an acquirer, as usually their minimum processing fees are $2000 p/month.

Our Third party processing solution therefore exists for this precise reason, to relieve the headaches of merchant account application, for the smaller merchant, with a quicker turnaround for your money.

The limitations as in Credit Card data not being captured by yourself, or in some cases, not having your own "bill descriptor", are the only real differences. You may also be concerned about the reliability of the third party processor, our merchant provider have been in business for almost 5 years and have a successful track record and process for over 500 merchants, worldwide.
