    I am developing a content site for Japan and wanted any leads on the best provider for payment processing - I would like to accept credit cards (that are typical in Japan) as well as cell phone payment if possible.

    Business is a US company

    Thanks

    Why don't you ask them to pay via wire transfer?

    Its more secure and low fee.

    GMO Payment Gateway is probably the largest provider for payment processing in Japan. It's run by the GMO group, a public company here. This is their website http://www.gmo-pg.com/ but the page is entirely in Japanese. Obviously there are many other options too but depends on what you're selling. Feel free to PM me.

    I also know that payzeno.com is a good processor of payments through cell phones, worth looking into.
