I'm interested in a processing company that offers offshore accounts, deals with new websites that has no credit history, deals with shady areas of E-commerce, and doesn't costs a fortune on setup... does anyone got any leads?
What's considered a shady area of e-commerce? Interesting way of putting it, at least. I would be fearful though of any company that actually responds.
Almost any High Risk merchant account cost you more then a regular e-commerce account. As mentioned, be carefull in your search and select.
High risk, that's a bit better. You should use that word - shady makes it seem a bit more ominous - like you were trying to create a cardable website or something. If it is a membership based website, CCBill would be the company - they are an IPSP. If your volume is high enough, 2000charge.com might be able to get you set up with a merchant account or something else.
It is basically having a site that uses their merchant account to check on credit cards numbers as being valid. And then if that information passes, the scammer knows he / she has a good credit card to go out and buy on other websites. That would be a shady area of e-commerce. Adult websites and gaming, while some people might have biases towards them, they are not shady
Yup, For high risk business deal with specific processors those expertise in dealing such business like gspay, chronopay, instabill , netbilling etc.
From this list I would go with Chronopay or netbilling and make a search on webhostingtalk.com for the other companies.
No not really. If it is a member-based website, CCBill is a great company. Netbilling is only an electronic payment gateway (like 200charge.com, LinkPoint, Payflow, Authorize.net/Cybersource). These companies might have a relationship with acquirers to help you get a merchant account or possibly some type of an IPSP (Internet Payment Service Provider) relationship.
i signed up with instabill.com a few months for a high volume account. They dont seem dangerous as yet. Seems to be working fine for me.
For Adult I would only go with CCBILL or Epoch System and maybe Verotel, those are the leaders in the Adult Payment Processing nad have been in business for many years.
