How easy is it to get your own merchant account?
 

I'm based in the UK, and looking at possibility of getting my own merchant account. How easy is this? Anyone have any great links?

hit up JJ.

As I recall it was just a lot of paperwork. Don't recall it being that difficult

really? why don't more people have one then?

what's the difference.

bd is pretty much right, paperwork.

1. Not every bank accepts adult businesses so you are limited to start with.
2. Some groups don't have the credit history in place to be accepted.
3. Another reason is that 3rd party providers provide such tools as reporting, affiliate systems, 24/7phone and email support etc. that some groups do not want to handle themselves.

So, to answer your question there are many reason that some groups do not have merchant accounts or want merchant accounts.

Finally, back to your original post, We can place you with a merchant account and/or 3rd party account in the EU.

Email the sales staff: sales at CCBill dot com and we can talk about your specific needs.

7 years ago when i got my 1st merch account my credit was junk and my corp bank account was days old.

things changed?

Not as easy as people think it is or everyone would have one.
But if you need processing, hit me up. I may have good connections for you.

I would say yes and that the banks seem to be getting stricter with whom and what they accept for new merchant accounts today versus 7 years ago.

got cha.

not as easy as it to lose it :)

I would recommend atleast 6 months of processing with a 3rd party, before even starting the process
