Merchant Account Company

It is a must for every organization to have an Internet Merchant Account to accept payments online. Various credit card processing companies offer the required software to run and maintain such accounts.

Merchants need to have a Business Checking Account (in the US) in order to accept credit cards. Business owners need to have a US Social Security Number. Most Processors also want to see a copy of the State Sales Tax Number. Not only do most states require this before the merchant starts to do business, but this also captures or registers the business DBA name for the merchant so that no other business in that state can use that business name. Some local banks do not offer Merchant Account services. Some require that the merchant has been in business for two years. Some banks only consider good credit. There is another option for these Merchants. Approves Home Based, Business Start-Ups, Problem Credit, FFL Dealers, Internet, Mail Phone Order, Info Merchants, Catalog Merchants, almost any legal business is considered for approval.

Most Banks only offer Card-Swipe terminals because they are the most popular. Internet Merchant Accounts and Merchant Accounts for home-based business are the most difficult to get approved. Also if your business is under two years old many banks have the policy to decline those Merchant Account applications.

Electronic Transfer, Inc. has been very successful in working with business start-ups helping them to get set-up to Accept Credit Cards from their customers. A Merchant Account is the most valuable business tool a new merchant can have because it makes doing business with them easy.

An Internet Merchant Account can Increase a small business as much as 400% by allowing them to sell their products or services over the Internet. It is like moving or changing your business location from an un-traveled side street to a busy intersection with thousands and thousands of cars driving by every day. Don’t hide from your customers. Make it easy to do business with you.

The Internet Merchant Account is the second of the three layers that exist between a customer and the organization. The first and last layers are the payment gateway and the website respectively.

The Payment Gateway completes the initial process like screening the credit card, registering its details, the product ordered, accepting the customer billing information and the necessary validation. This Payment Gateway subsequently transfers all these details to the Merchant Bank Account along with the payment downloaded in an electronic format from the credit card.

To enable this transaction, the website selling the product or engaged in web-based business should be integrated with a Secure Payment Gateway. The Payment Gateway transfers the Bankcard Payment information securely to the processing bank (the Merchant Account). Without integration, an electronic transaction is not possible.

Information about Internet Merchant Accounts can be obtained from the internet as well as the banks offering such services. These banks also advertise this service on the internet since it is one of the most popular payment options for E-Commerce Websites.
