I'm getting a US Checking Bank Account and Incorporating my Company en USA.
What else do I need to get a merchant account? Sorry for this dumb question, but should I ask to the bank who provide me the Checking Bank account for a Merchant account? or AuthorizeNet resellers provide that? or can provide that?
Any Recomendation for a reseller?

Typically, you need to be in business a few years to get a merchant account. Also, Dunn and Bradstreet numbers, credit references and more will be asked for. Just getting a checking account is not enough - though it is the first big step.

Getting a merchant account that uses Authorize.net is relatively easy. It took less than two weeks for me to get mine all set up and working just fine.

Basically, you fill out an application with your business name, employer ID number, checking account information (they want a voided check as well), and drop in a few references. If you don't have any vendors for references you can use people that are familiar with you and your bank account representative as well.

I signed up through charge.com, but I would evaluate several different providers before chosing them specifically. Just check out the resellers at www.authorize.net for a good listing. If you want more details PM me and I'll try and answer your questions.
