Hi,

I am well aware of the difficulties of non-US citizens attempting to set-up US-based bank and merchant accounts. I have been researching this for several months now, through local banks in Australia that have partnerships with US based banks, and through the US Trade Commissions. It's not impossible to get done, but the red-tape and cost involved is a very limiting factor. I can understand the US governments regulatory controls placed on this industry since 9/11, but it doesn't help me conduct legitimate business in the US.

I have a high-volume e-commerce site that I want to launch in the US. To minimise cost, I need to transact in USD$ through a US-based merchant account.

What I'm looking for is a US business partner, that can offer me their merchant and payment gateway facilities to transact through. I need to use an API based gateway so my customers remain on my website during the process (this is extremely important for conversion rates).

Basically, I will provide the secure dedicated server, the application, support and advertising. All I require is a business merchant partner that will allow me to transact through their merchant/payment gateway facilities.

Fees for the use of this service would be negotiable.

Obviously I know I can generate the sales volumes through this website, which should offer some sort of guarantee. I don't require direct access to the merchant account, we would report on sales each week, take out agreed fees and transfer payments to my nominated account.

Interested parties are welcome to contact me here, or via PM.

Thanks :)

preved? :)

Atomium,

StreetWise doesn't seem to be (with) preved :) LOL
What he does not know is he needs to have at least 10 posts here before anyone can PM him. Or at least activate e-mail sending capabilities.

Maybe activate email sending and this should work.

Ahhh,

Thanks for the heads-up about the 10-post rule.

Have activated email sending, so please use this.

Thanks :)
