We are the only non-bank Commerce Service Provider on the Internet
which actually sets up merchants accounts.
As one of our Merchants, you will be able
to sell in either Canadian dollars and/or U.S. dollars (depending
on the service option you choose), which will then be converted
into the currency of your customer's currency when it shows up on
their monthly credit card statement as "YOUR MERCHANT NAME via Merchant
Services".
As part of the merchant set-up, we also
provide the secure, on-line real-time transaction processing from
your web site without special software or secure servers.
The funds are wired directly
into your bank account. If your account originates in either Canada,
you do not need to concern yourself with wiring fees. However, if
your account is based in any other country in the world your funds
will incur a minor wire fee per batch deposited directly into that
account. This can be arranged to be done ONLY when it reaches a
certain dollar amount instead, if that is what you want. That must
be done via prior arrangements.

options. For those Canadian Based, US Based and all other Internationally
Based. They are each explained below. All prices shown are charged
to your accounts in US $.

you operate an Adult site, or Gambling site or site originating

**PLEASE NOTE: No
Security Deposits Required. There are no upfront deposits for
our clients. Instead of a merchant security deposit upfront, we
offer a Rolling Merchant Reserve Fund (RMRF) based on 8 % of actual
monthly sales. These RMRF funds will be returned to you after six
months of being held on a rolling basis.
For example, if in your first month, your
Total Sales using us were $1,500.00, then 8% of $1,500.00 is held
$120.00. Then your month #1 RMRF monies will be $120.00. This $120.00
will be returned in month 7, month # 2 monies will be returned in
month 8, month # 7 monies will be returned in month 13 etc.
So every month you are a merchant processing
transactions, the Rolling Merchant Reserve Fund will apply.
No software, hardware or "secure" server
is required on the merchants web site to access our service, only
a simple hyperlink button.
Merchants are paid on the 15th and 30th
of each month FOR SALES EARNED IN THAT PERIOD OF THE MONTH, NOT
30 days or 60 days after the sale.
This is very important because it has
proven effective in preventing chargebacks, when your customer recognizes
" YOUR MERCHANT NAME" as opposed to another company which lets you
use their merchant status and " THEIR MERCHANT NAME" shows up on
"YOUR CUSTOMERS" credit card statement.
All your credit card sales are dispersed
to you, the merchant less the applicable fees.
All credit card monies are dispersed electronically
into your Canadian Bank Account for CDN dollars at NO CHARGE and
via cheque/wire transfer for US dollars. There will be a $35.00
Cdn ($25.18 USD) charge for wire transfers and $2.00 Cdn ($1.44
US) for cheque. Via mail is the standard for U.S. dollar payments.
