    Mainstream Credit Card Processors?

    Does anyone have any links to mainstream credit card processors they use?

    We could just stick to the ones we use in adult but i figure the better we spread ourselves so far as who we are relying on while all this Visa stuff is still happening in adult the better

    So anyone have some reccomendations for a mainstream transaction processors?

    Regards,

    Lee

    worldpay.com is good value, they let you charge in multiple currencies (3 currencies are included free in every account) and give good rates too. All you need to do is provide proof that you are legit and you are in.

    cheers,

    Costco if you want to setup a merchant account. Probably the lowest rates out there for internet transactions.

    costco.com is right. I'm not sure why you are getting a mall.

    Are you guys looking under their business services section? They are a business that also sells products, maybe the confusion there.

    Try this link Costco

    Very True - NetBilling is a great gateway ... Humboldt Merchant Services uses them extensively for adult and non adult processing as the gateway.

    Costco-Nova does not support Adult accounts

    We were using Nova via Costco last year and they stopped supporting adult accounts. They only gave us 1 week of processing before termination so I don't recommend them.

    Well I can tell you who NOT to go with, Paysystems. They're a montreal based company and we wanted to go with them, support the local guys and all that. They've been nothing but a pain, we dropped them before we even went live.

    Merchant Accounts for Adult and Mainstream

    Y'all,

    With Card Service Interenational deciding to pull out of the adult business completely it has left a lot of adult sites scrambling for a processor and merchant account.

    I have talked with several over the past few days and from my perspective, it seems as the most cooperative is a company called Merchant Services USA. They help companies set up merchant accounts with a bank in Texas by the name of Wood Forest National Bank, and their processor (gateway) is E Processing Network.

    Their rates for adult are 2.69% plus .30 transaction fee which isn't a bad rate from what I have heard from others.

    The person to contact is:

    Joe Montella
    888 997-5174

    Has anyone had any dealing with Joe, or Merchant Services USA, E Processing Network or Wood Forest National Bank?

    Thanks,

    Bill
