Just fill out the free, no obligation, online merchant account application on our website and sign up for a 30-day risk-free trial. It should take you less than 10 minutes to complete the application process.

Once your application is complete, the processing time is usually 24 hours or less, especially if we receive your application before noon MT. If approved, we will promptly inform you of your acceptance and deliver the terminal equipment or software.

The 30-day risk-free trial allows you to try our merchant account products and services, totally risk-free. If you don’t experience the highest level of customer service, along with fast, efficient processing at an overall low cost, cancel the service and we will refund you the purchase price of any equipment or software you bought from us. However, merchant account credit card processing fees that you may have incurred are not refundable. This offer does not apply to leased equipment. Certain restrictions and exclusions apply. Merchant accounts are subject to credit approval. The 30-day risk-free trial offer subject to change without notice.

We accept retail, professional service providers, trade shows, mail order, telephone order, Internet based, and home-based businesses.

You do not necessarily need a business license, although it is a document that would satisfy the Premises Inspection Requirement. You do not need to have a business license if you can provide a different acceptable core documentation item that is required. These items vary depending upon the level of risk associated with your business.

You only need a business checking account if your business is set up as a corporation. If it is a sole proprietorship, you may use a personal checking account or a business checking account.

If you sell mail order/telephone order, or through the Internet, you don’t want to send a product to a false address and have a risk of receiving a chargeback. The Address Verification System (AVS) lets you enter the customer’s home address and compares it to the address on file with their credit card company. If someone uses a stolen card, and wants products shipped to a false address, AVS will help detect this for you.
