Frequently Asked Questions (F.A.Q.)

What is a merchant account?

A merchant account is an account at a financial institution that always allows you to accept credit cards and debit card payments from customers through a credit card terminal.

Can I use someone else's merchant account to do my transactions?

No, this practice is known as "credit card laundering" or "factoring". It is against the Visa and MasterCard agreement. Using someone else's merchant account to process your credit card transactions can lead to heavy fines and perhaps more. In addition, you will also put the merchant's credit card processing account in jeopardy.

What is a discount rate?

Discount rates are basically a percentage that is taken from the charge that is being processed. For example, if you have an order of $100 and your discount rate is 1.85% the discount rate being deducted would be $1.85.

The typical time frame for funds to be deposited in to your bank account is 24 to 48hrs.
