What do I need to get a merchant account?

To obtain a merchant account you need to have a business. This could be retail, home-based, Internet-based, network marketing, etc. You cannot obtain a merchant account for personal use. To open a U.S. merchant account you will need a Social Security number and a Federal Tax ID number (if your company is a corporation), plus a U.S.-based checking account and U.S. address.

How do I apply?

Fill out the application for pre-approval to accept Master Card and Visa (opt-in to submit your information to accept American Express at the same time). Then, upon approval, you will be contacted and given information on your new Merchant Account. Usual approval time is 2-3 business days.
