International Merchant Accounts

Business America can provide an International Merchant Account for ecommerce merchants in international or emerging markets. Focusing on the specialized needs of international merchant processing, Business America offers international merchant services tailored solutions for lower costs, faster settlements, and more efficient processing capabilities utilizing high quality payment gateways, the latest anti-fraud tools, and professional support and service.

Why Get An International Merchant Account?

Merchants located in emerging or international markets or ex-patriots living and doing business abroad often have difficulty obtaining high quality international merchant services due to their local financial institutions being unable or unwilling to provide international merchant processing. It is not uncommon for emerging or international markets to have a very small number of acquiring banks (one or two in an entire country). It is possible these acquirers may not even accept e-commerce or Card-Not-Present merchants at all, or they may have limited options for e-commerce merchants. A Business America International Merchant Account offers international credit card processing capabilities that may not be available with the local banks: easy to integrate API payment gateways, anti-fraud tools like AVS, CVV2, and 3-D Secure, multi-currency, and recurring billing.

Is an Incorporation required for an International Merchant Account?

It is not always necessary to incorporate. Our EU acquiring banks can support international merchant services in many different European countries as well as many supported countries outside of Europe. Business America can quickly determine a merchant's legal standing requirements for an international merchant account and provide incorporation services when necessary.
