    Verotel: Not just surviving, but THRIVING?

    I've heard a lot of negative talk about Verotel on GFY over the years, much of it for good reason. But after all this time and the downfall of many other big processors, Verotel is still up and kicking, and coming up with new features / upgrades all the time.

    Have to say I'm very impressed and hope they keep it up for years to come.

          I think a lot of people had them slated as the next to crumble ...

          pleasant surprise indeed.

              Just makes me nervous about companies holding my money that are off shore. At least with the U.S companies, I can show up on their doorstep and/or sue if needed.

                  We have been using Verotel on one of our sites for about 2 years now and have never had a problem with support or payouts.

                      been hearing comments like that a lot lately. The fact that they keep adding new features / billing options gives me a bit of comfort as well.

                              I understand your concerns. But some of us don't have any choice and have felt that way about U.S. companies in the past and been burnt.

                                  Thank god I dont have to. Made a good choice on two processors three years ago in CCbill and Paycom. Never even looked at ibill.

                                      Paycom since '98 (Oh, excuse me - Epoch). CCBill since '04. Been very happy. Next step is my own merchant account.

                                          We have used Verotel since 2002 with no issues whatsoever. The new currency selection features rock.

                                              BTW.. Verotel are not offshore. They are based in Amsterdam.

                                              Also... I am not gonna claim this is an asset - because "assets" can vanish overnight :-) But, unlike some existing "big" third party processors, Verotel do have an escrow service in place for the security of client funds.

                                                  I think thats still considered offshore and i think all processors should have a escrow service.

                                                      being based in the Netherlands does not constitute being "offshore", at least not in the usual sense of the term... offshore usually refers to places such as Gibraltar, St. Kitts, Caymans, etc..

                                                          Amsterdam is "offshore"? :-) It may be offshore from the US if that is what is mean't, but certainly is not an offshore company in the true sense.

                                                          But they are governed by the laws of Holland and can be sued easily.

                                                          Sure.. they should have escrow or other security in place. Oddly a few EU processors have an escrow service in place. But so far, I've never seen one in the US that has this security.

                                                                      Nothing is certain anywhere chupacabra when it comes to third party processing

                                                                      It's can be a profitable but risky biz when the elements that control the payment process change the rules.

                                                                      But yea... I've also thought the next major processing area would be within the EU and it sure is heading that way now - even with elements of iBill. The slight difference, which is to the benefit of webmasters, is there are accountability laws in the EU when handling other people's money.

The $750 VISA fee has not helped anyone owed by iBill - that's just another cost only applicable to VISA North America - it's not some status symbol or entitlement to get paid. No other banking region accepted that crap.

                                                                                      Ok, so you've got oodles of money. I still look at it in a relative sense: losing 2 weeks worth is better than losing (say) 2 months worth.

                                                                                      If you were pushing that many transactions you wouldn't/shouldn't be using a single processor anyway.

On Nov 15 2002 CCbill made a clear business decision to stop processing for sites that feature underage models. Verotel continues to do so. If they have changed that, it's been in the recent past.

We all know what the 750 fee is about and of course it does not offer extra security. Im very happy with where I am at and will not leave. If I go anywhere, it will be to my own merchant account.

                                                                                                                                          But they are governed by the laws of Holland and can be sued easily.

                                                                                                                                          Sure.. they should have escrow or other security in place. Oddly a few EU processors have an escrow service in place. But so far, I've never seen one in the US that has this security.

If the processor has lost their merchant account or has gone out of business then they won't be processing rebills anyway.

                                                                                                                                                                              Verotel stopped processing for them at the same time or about the same time CCBILL did... neither processes for them and I do believe that Verotel locked the accounts of the affiliates and the sites themselves (keeping the money for 6 months).

                                                                                                                                                                              But.. the kudos goes to Visa, not the processors.. VISA is the one that told them to knock it off or they can't process VISA cards anymore.

On Nov 15 2002 CCbill made a clear business decision to stop processing for sites that feature underage models. Verotel continues to do so. If they have changed that, it's been in the recent past.

                                                                                                                                                                                  I'm not bashing them at all. They have a market and they have done a good job, but it's just not for me.

                                                                                                                                                                                  Well, let's clarify something here, CCBill stopped billing for "teen model sites" on Nov 15, 2002 which was exactly the time that Visa/MC came town and hammered CCBill and iBill with the new IPSP regs (I know because I had just started working for Verotel a month earlier and we were jumping for joy because so many iBill and CCBill webmasters were moving over) and then all those sites moved over to GloBill, WebsiteBilling and Globosale until they ended up getting kicked off the porch, at which time they all moved over to Verotel. And btw, Verotel stopped billing for those sites also when the IPSP regs came to Europe in March 2004 - not so recent past.

                                                                                                                                                                                  Given the history, it may be a bit presumptuous to call it a "clear business decision" which implies that CCBill stopped processing for those types of sites on their own accord. I'm not bashing CCBill or anything just trying to paint a clearer picture as to what most likely prompted that clear business decision.

And btw, Verotel stopped billing for those sites also when the IPSP regs came to Europe in March 2004 - not so recent past.

                                                                                                                                                                                      Given the history, it may be a bit presumptuous to call it a "clear business decision" which implies that CCBill stopped processing for those types of sites on their own accord. I'm not bashing CCBill or anything just trying to paint a clearer picture as to what most likely prompted that clear business decision.

                                                                                                                                                                                      So, what you're saying is that CCBill, Ibill, Verotel, you guys all would have kept processing undersage modeling sites if you could ... but Visa laid the smack down.

At least with the U.S companies, I can show up on their doorstep and/or sue if needed.
