100 good news

No doubt. I know I'd definately be interested!

I think this is awesome news if it all pans out. With the sweets being found innocent on those obscenity charges, canada will be a great place for porn.

Any update on this?

I sure as hell hope so. Im impatient.

If you're still looking for "resident agents" in the USA. I've recently setup one Canadian AWM with a USA company, and a Visa-capable CCBill account. So far, the arrangement has gone well, and I'm looking to do the same for other Canadian AWM's. The owner of that company is the one that referred me to this thread.

Here's how the pricing will probably go, depending on the particulars of your business:

$200 setup for an American business + $60 per month maintenance

$200 setup for a High Risk CCBill account + a monthly maintenance fee that depends on the details of your business and the risk and time commitments shouldered by my company.

CCBill's fees are additional, off the top of my head, they are:

$750 for high risk Visa processing fees
$30 per month account maintenance fee
14.5% commission, which decreases with higher volume processing.

It's a bit novel how the arrangement works, and it will take some explaining. Leave me your email if you want to get in touch. I can do pretty much anything you can imagine, my services go way beyond CCBill accounts.

excellent Canadian news :winkwink:

I am talking with my friend Patrick in Quebec that as direct contacts at Moneris. He been using them for a while.

Feels good to be Canadian Eh :winkwink:

well guess i should get to know a canadian .. LOL

That's awesome,I 'm going to search into it right now. Thanks!

I want to make it clear that Qwasty does not represent CCBill in any way, nor is CCBill associated with any entity that claims to provide a solution for Canadian businesses that wish to process Visa transactions.

Because this was brought up earlier in this thread, I will reiterate that CCBill does not currently have a solution for Canadian businesses, nor can we promise that there is going to be one in the near future. If you have any specific questions, please do not hesitate to reach our sales staff

I've been using Moneris for years for all transactions online/storefront - I'll be moving adult transactions to it shortly

OMG OMG OMG ... I just hope it will stay like that :P

Well, I think it's already pretty clear that I'm not a representative of CCBill. In any case, I have discussed this type of an arrangement in detail with CCBill representatives, and they've said that there's no problem at all with it. Our accountants call it a "pass-through" arrangement, and it's 100% legal and it conforms to all of CCBill, Visa, and everyone else's rules and regulations.

so, mitch... what happened with that meeting?

25cents ? :eek7

qwasty: my email is [email protected] .... please let me know more...

corvett: Can you re-post in this thread once you have talked with qwasty ... to tell us if everything is alright....

OK, I just got done with a telephone conference with several of the higher-ups in CCBill, apparently my posting has gotten quite a bit of attention over there. Let me make it crystal clear that I have no interest in upsetting CCBill, or any of their partners. I also want to thank them for taking the time to discuss their concerns with me.

CCBill made it very clear to me that they do not in any way support Canadian webmasters. That little phrase is a bit tougher to work around than I was lead to believe when initially setting up a CCBill account for one of my Canadian clients.

However, the situation is not hopeless, it just might be a bit more complicated. In the case of the client that I've already made arrangements with, he owns an American company, and the funds from the CCBill account are going to his American company, and not to Canada.

CCBill's main concern is that what I'm doing must follow the spirit of Visa's requirements - That every company processing Visa transactions must be based in the USA, and have principles in the USA (owners).

So, I need to put a bit more work into the structure of each arrangement that's made, if any. These issues may alter the expenses that I've outlined previously, and it may be a no-go in some situations if it turns out that CCBill's requirements cannot be met cost-effectively.

While I let the information sink in that I've just been given from CCBill, I'll be getting in touch with all of you who are interested, and we can discuss the issues involved - Needless to say, I'm going to be picky about who I deal with, so make a good impression. We'll see what happens next.

ok... let me know when you have more... [email protected]

Here is the bad news ... just called Moneris and it seems that they DON'T process adult paysite. Can anyone that get confirmation that they do get in touch with me? ICQ 30975654

Only hope that the girl I talked with didn't know what she was talking about ...

1.00 CAD
Canada Dollars = 0.733103 USD
United States Dollars
1 CAD = 0.733103 USD 1 USD = 1.36407 CAD

Main question is not dollar value but this :)

uhm i've had adult approved for ages.. I helped build one of the original ecom companies, it was not full hardcore. Monaris is basicly royal bank and bmo's way of getting around the bank of canada shit.. they tried to merg bla bla

Nightly deposits.. problem is you now handle chargebacks so paperwork comes into play. You can store and rebill your own customers etc..

still for affiliates, we need ccbill to buy out my bloody company!

Anyone that talked with Moneris and get a positive answer, can you get me the name of the rep you talked with?

Netbilling Mitch .. any new infos?

What are they telling you?

Update: we just talked with Tery at Moneris and it seems that they do it!

So now we have two versions of the story!

Gonna keep you in touch on it

Moneris is EXTRMELY selective about any adult accounts that they do. We are setup as agents for them.

Mitch

Hey Mitch... what does that mean being their agent...? please give more details..

bump


Btw.. Drinkinghard.. any updates with Moneris?

bump?

So who is using this setup right now?

more bumpage

Nice:thumbsup

Any more updates on this from netbilling or anyone else?

Time to make a corp in a new country. Im heading nother.:thumbsup

Anyone using these guys for at least 3-4 months? Are they solid for adult?

BUMP

Bump.

Anyone have any updates on getting an internet merchant account for subscription-only adult sites in Canada?

Was anyone able to get an account through Moneris?

I have a guy that as direct contact with moneris. hit me up I also have a canadian corp if any of you wants some help ;-)

JMan, you have mail. Thanks for any contact info you can provide. I'm looking for any info that will help me get an internet merchant account here in Canada.

JMan, your email bounced back (the one in your sig). Can you email me at [email protected] - remove the two 'REM's - and I'll resend what I sent you.

So does moneris do adult or not?

Moneris *were* a TERRIBLE company that cost us lots of cash about 6 years ago. Could be they have changed since then, but if not, avoid them like the plague :2 cents:

Looking forward to hearing some feedback.. this would be great news for us! Could finally get rid of my U.S incorp!

Jason

Canada and Canadians can be of great help to US AWM ... Especailly with the new 2257 reg .. hit me up if you want to know more

bumpasaurus-rex

there was a post on the first page of this thread that said that they were formed in 2000, how come they cost you money before they even existed?

Post 2000 :)


This is about the 5th time I have heard this exact same story. From what I can remember EVERY online adult merchant account in Canada has been shut down in the past. Even though the bank approved it and stated that online adult was fine. I would be very carefull, get your approval through VISA not the bank.

so, other than moneris or myvirtualcard, who else can canadians use for Visa processing??????????????????
anyone else out there?

There's Verotel but I've been waiting 4 months for them to setup a PRO account for my site.
