GETTING STARTED Checklist

To accept credit card payments requires a merchant account that is guaranteed by an FDIC insured financial institution that acts as the "Acquirer". It is helpful to understand that when a business sets up an Internet enabled merchant account it in essence applying for a line of credit that is guaranteed by the bank. The information that you will be asked to provide is strictly confidential and is used to underwrite your account and is required by processing regulations. The "GETTING STARTED" Checklist is intended to gather the information to expedite the setup process and avoid unnecessary delays in having your account approved.
