What is a Merchant Account?
A merchant account is a certain type of bank account that provides a connection between a merchant, a payment service provider, and an acquiring bank. An issuing bank issues a credit or debit card to a cardholder. The card can be used to make purchases online. With each purchase, a payment request is sent to the acquiring bank through a payment gateway. The acquiring bank then sends the request through the relevant card scheme, then back to the issuing bank for authorization. Once authorized, the merchant can deliver the goods his/her customer paid for.
Merchant account holders are required to abide by the rules and regulations set by the card schemes Mastercard and Visa. Fees and commissions for getting connected and processing payments vary greatly per service provider. Obanc proudly offers the lowest rates in the industry with stellar support and POS solutions to boot. Feel free to research and compare numerous payment processors before committing to one. You should choose the payment processor that compliments your business needs best.
