 | View Full Version : UK Merchant Account CarrigHOST 07-02-2002, 01:01 PM Hi I am looking for a uk merchant account that can process in euros and transfer money to my irish bank account Any Ideas ? I have seen Worldpay, SfCommerce & Clickpay Sean barrywien 07-10-2002, 12:43 PM I think you might like to look into your own merchant account rather than looking at a third party solution. I am in the UK and use PayStamp.com but it only accepts payments in GBP but if you provide your customers with a currency convertor on your site you shouldnt have any problems. AL-Benjamin 07-10-2002, 12:47 PM try planetpayment.com for a true internet merchant account tazd9t9 07-10-2002, 05:09 PM worldpay.com will do it, you get 3 currencies with your account, its expensive though, but not as expensive as a real UK merchant account, LLoyds TSB charge something stupid like £250 a month, it costs under that per year for worldpay.com sorry i missed where you said you had seen it, however while they are expensive to set up you dont have expennsive wire fees AL-Benjamin 07-10-2002, 05:13 PM worldpay are quite good if you can afford it. Basically natwest, so they are backed by a very well established company. KDAWebServices 07-11-2002, 03:49 PM Well established != Well good. Well not in our experience anyway, NatWest have been a nightmare for us. Can't comment on WorldPay though, except to say that you can prob get better rates from ePDQ.co.uk AL-Benjamin 07-11-2002, 04:31 PM i would be the last to comment on the ability of natwest to provide any kind of customer service. What i was pointing out is they are backed by a company that is very stable, which is quite often not the case. KDAWebServices 07-11-2002, 04:34 PM I know, I was merely pointing it out from the customer point of view when dealing with anything to do with NatWest. Synwave 07-11-2002, 06:20 PM Im use an Irish bank account myself. I reciently signed up with World Pay. They are expensive but ill stick them out for the year. Since then ive be reffered to www.promisant.com . I havnt had time to check them out but i hear theyll do it for you. Also check out www.protx.com Slan a charda! CarrigHOST 07-12-2002, 02:15 PM Its good to see some irish people on the boards Sean chirpy 07-12-2002, 06:02 PM I can also recommend http://www.secpay.com in the UK as a third-party processor - you will need a merchant bank account. We've used them for well over 2.5 years and they've always been personable, helpful and quick to deal with any (rare) problems that come about. They're happy to help you with your dealings with your bank in setting up your merchant account. |
