New Visa/MC cross boarder regulations - Merchant Accounts (not 3.party.bill) - GoFuckYourself.com

New Visa/MC cross boarder regulations preclude you from getting a US merchant account if you are not a US citizen.
The good thing with a US account is that you can get an account with no minimum transaction volyme required.

Now, non US citizens needs to get an offshore account and that
means you need to process atleast 30k - 80k per month and a setup fee up to $1500.

Why am I posting this ?
Well, I have a european account and they are really on me
to process more to keep my account. So, I tried to get a new one using my US based company but got the answer at the top.
My current merchant account "supplier" says that people doing under 30k in transactions should use a Thirdparty processor.
But because of the Thirdparty changes/kills/new rules etc. a merchant account was/is something I really want to have as a backup if the Thirparty Processing Biz goes down.

So, if anyone know an offshore (european or other) "supplier" of
adult merchant accounts that doesn't requirer a minimum transaction volyme - PLEASE let me know. Setup fee cost doesnt matter.

US citizen or US Social Security Number? There is a difference.

If you have a US social security # or a partner that has one, you are all set. This has been the rule for some time now. It is not really new.

I have a Tax ID for my US company but that was not enough.

We should talk, Cool Piranha have facilities at ECS too but we really need a PAGO account and we have the volume to place through it - we got there just as Pago closed the door on Adult.

If you want to work with us we can engineer a solution here.

Also, as we have a European Merchant Account we are looking for a variety of webmasters to take into this using our new system, http://www.cpbilling.com

Drop rob a line - [email protected] and talk some more.

BTW just because you have a US Social Securtity number does not mean US banks will underwrite a MA for you - far from it!
