Merchant Approval Requirements

Not every merchant qualifies for a merchant account, although we can approve nearly 99% of all qualified applicants. We have a liberal approval process where we can accept almost all business types and virtually all credit situations including:

  • Home-based businesses
  • Mail Order / Tele Order Companies (MOTO)
  • Internet-based (E-Commerce) Businesses
  • Hotels/Motels and Restaurants
  • International Businesses (non-U.S. based)

We have a number of methods to help circumvent impediments that small businesses face such as insufficient or questionable credit.
