How To Get An Inexpensive Merchant Account

Non-US Merchant Account

Looking for a non-us merchant account? You're in luck. There are more options today than ever. There are plenty of ISOs that are based in the US but don't require either a US address or US incorporation.

In fact, such services that offer non-US merchant account don't really care where you are.

Of course, each nation has corporations focusing on just the banking industry in that nation. That's why I make the suggestion to do a nation specific search (search box below).

Regardless, here are some questions you should ask before committing to a service that provides a non-US merchant account.
  • Are you willing to put everything in writing, including all fees?
  • What is the name and location of the processing bank
  • Do you provide 24/7 support over the phone? (If so, and they should, test it out.)
  • Is a reserve account required? (If the answer is yes, look elsewhere unless you're business is located out of the US in which case a reserve account will most likely be required.)
  • When will funds be available? (Look for 3 days or less)
  • Are the banks you are partnered with to issue merchant accounts FDIC-Insured?
