Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Would the type of business I am in, or that
I operate out of my home disqualify me?

Q: Do I have to have been in business a certain
length of time?
A: No! Many of our merchants are new or start-up compaines.
Q: Would previously having a merchant account
disqualify me from getting a new merchant account?

disqualify you. Each situation is evaluated on its own merits.

of my business?

is adequate if the business is a sole proprietorship.
Q: How competitive will my processing rate be?
A: Our rates are extremely competitive. They are based on merchant type,
volume, average ticket and risk.
Q: Do I really need this service?
A: Yes! 96% of businesses now accept credit cards. Why? Because, most consumers
prefer to pay with plastic in lieu of cash or checks. Private individuals,
commercial enterprises, and even government agencies pay with their credit
cards. Research shows that this trend will continue to increase rapidly
in the next several years. Accepting credit cards has a number of advantages
for the merchant. Typically when people use credit cards they spend 30%
more than with cash or check.
Q: How soon will I get my money from credit card
transactions?
A: Funds from credit card transactions are credited to your bank account
automatically and are available for your use in 24 to 48 hours.
