On: How to get a merchant account - a series of hoops

[zaidf]

In past I've applied for merchant account through a middle party(there are tonnes across the web) that deals with the bank and authorize.net. It hasn't been a problem.

I wonder what the process is like if you directly go through a bank.

I work at a payment processor (PowerPay) and we typically approve or deny applications within a day as long as we have all the required information.

That's great to know!
