A Little Introduction To Our Merchant Account Site...

If you're visiting us you're already savvy enough to understand how important, no make that vital, the ability to accept credit cards on the Internet is.

The aim of this website therefore is simple - we cut through the "white noise" of the Internet with all it's competing companies and advertisments to, I hope, save you time and energy in finding a suitable merchant account partner.

Using reviews of products, discussion with online business owners like yourself and our own experiences of six years of ecommerce, this site represents our findings based on indepth research.

Regular visitors will notice numerous changes going on all the time as a result of new merchant account companies starting up, old ones going out of business, new software releases, new test cases of merchant account providers we hadn't looked at in enough depth previously to cover etc.

We also receive regular updates from a multitude of merchant account providers on all sorts of subjects - changes in service, price changes, mergers etc.

The best way to keep up to date with all the latest news is to visit our newly added Merchant Account News page which is the first area of the site to be updated when changes occur.

As a suitable jumping off point to your visit I recommend you read our article on merchant account basics which will introduce you to some important principles, including how to maximise your chances of acceptance for a merchant account.

Then why not visit our top merchant account recommendations given in the left hand blue box on each page.
