off shore accounts for merchant processing

I have been approached by offshore companies who have said they can set me up with an offshore merchant processing solution. I have a good understanding of Domestic merchant account set up ( have a few) and I have a small understanding of off shore accounts. I understand that I need a offshore corp (If I am wrong feel free to correct me) so that I can apply for an offshore merchant account processor. The question is, does anyone have any good/reliable offshore processors? Some want to charge up the wazzzoooo and some don't seem reliable. I am looking offshore because domestic processors are staying away from things like biz opp and financial planning which is the vertical/industry I started in.

Is it true that if you only get taxed on what you send yourself back into the states? I assume I must also pay local country taxes?

I had one back in 2004 with German Bank, they process cards and wire you $$$ once a week ( it was my setup), after 2 months they terminated services for "low approval rate" meaning that cards had less than 75% approval rate.

how did you set up? did you have a rep that set it up? or did you set up the EU corp on your own? do you know the name of the company still? "low approval rate", as in you would run deals and they would decline? or you would run cards and they would CB?

I had a rep here ( Orange county ), no eu corp needed, just checking account here to send money to. I signed contract and started processing credit cards through their terminal. I had recurring charges ( $9.95 month). It worked for me for 2 months

as for approval rate-when 25% of your cards got declined that is low approval for them, I've never had this issue with US based merchant services and was surprised to hear such bs reason for account termination

I have been seeing/hearing more stories of declines being an issue. As if we know exactly what is going on with the clients card (wtf). Could you share (PM) your OC contact with me ? was your 9.95 one time or rebill? It would totally help avoiding getting an EU CORP or any off shore corp (until a reliable source appears), so was this then an agg account? or what this your account and they were the ISO?

Hi, 9.95 rebill monthly, it was agg account. BTW processing fee was 6.5-7% which is huge. Overall if you exhausted all the options domestically, you can move to these type of accounts but it is risky and it's expensive. I lost contact info for their rep.

There seemed to be a point where A TON of people would jump on and comment for "merchant services/processing" and it seems to have slowed a bit, or My post sucks lol. Feel free BHW to jump on and share your awesome knowledge. I know you are out there, maybe you just haven't see this post yet !

I skyped you... answer when you can..I am close to find and verifying some off shore merchants for HIGH RISK accounts... I will keep the form posted as I reach a final answer.

I am looking for for a high risk or 3rd party merchant account right now as well. Feel free to pm me also.

im interested too in case there any reps here. please pm me

I did send out PM when you have a chance reply back. I closer to finding and putting together a list of options for HIGH RISK and HARD to place offers and products. I will be making a follow up thread once I have all the solid info.

Depending on the amount you are looking to process stealth PayPal accounts can be a solution.

do you know the amount that its good for?

@Platinum_Mike, thank you for sharing your info. I believe one of my associates are working with you currently attempting to set up a merchant account. Thus far out of 11 "high risk" processors not ONE has approved my account domestically. My offer is a financial planning coaching offer (most people say its similar to the biz opp model, except there is not a business to sell or money claims, its straight up coaching) and I will confirm to see if that application was declined or not. I understand that you/company will pitch the fact that they can place it etc (not you specifically, merchant reps generally) but domestically its not going to happen. Given, there are domestic companies that I am working with right now and I have two applications that came out of underwriting this morning with stipulations (both domestic) VS denial. I need to show money etc.. but not an official approval just yet... I will keep the form posted.

Most people reading this need to know that Domestically there are ONLY 4 MAX end banks that ALL applications run through. Each ISO (merchant account provider/reseller) has other companies they run their applications through (basically each other) but at the end there are 4 banks these all run through. It is important to know which companies work with who and what banks they are being submitted through, also which other ISO's its going to be ran through.

RSI Leads --- let's talk again on Skype as I am pretty sure I can arrange a merchant account for you all.

Cheers,
Paul
