Not for small programs, but if you can save 5% or more on volumes of a couple of 100K a month in processing it is worth it to take things in-house.

In addition when you have a lot more possibilities in terms of upgrades, cancel offers, xsales, 1click upsales, etc. if you run your own merchant accounts. You can make a lot more money that way.

You can also decide on your own fraud filters/scrubbing, cascading etc.
