    Bank Lettervoided check

  • Valid Working Website
    Should have home page, products & pricing page, contact us page, and terms & conditions page.

  • If Website is Under Construction, please provide the items below:
    “Complete marketing materials including contracts with cardholders, terms and conditions, price quotes, description of product or services & payment plan terms.”

  • Website Must Have Terms & Conditions per Credit Card Industry Standards

    3. A secure checkout page

  • Recent Home Utility Bill
    Must include name and address matching what is on the application. The following are examples of what are considered utility bills: phone bills, cable bills, internet bills, heating bills, town bills, power bills, etc.Some processors accept credit card bills and personal bank statements as utility bills, however these processors are few in number and you shouldn’t count on it.

  • Articles of Incorporation

  • Sometimes, the Underwriter will need to know more about your Business and They will ask you to Complete a Questionnaire, A Version of which can be found attached:

    (Please see attached “Internet MOTO Questionnaire fillable.pdf“)
    Internet MOTO Questionnaire

  • End User Agreements or Contracts with your Customers/ Fulfillment Agreements with your Suppliers
    If you enter into any User Agreement or Contract with your customer please provide us a copy. If you have suppliers with which you have agreements in place, please send us a copy of that contract.

  • For Nutra Merchants: List of All the Products Sold through your Website.
    Even though it can run into the hundreds of listings and hence be a pain to gather, you will benefit in the long run because providing us with a list will generate a stronger, more solid approval for you.The underwriter can take a look at this list prior to the approval and let you know which items you should remove from sale in order to get approved.For example, let’s say you have Epitalent and the underwriter lets you know that you should remove it. Once you remove all Epitalent products from sale, your website would be conforming to the underwriter`s requirements.This way you do not run the risk of having the merchant account shut down upon a review by a senior Risk Manager after 1-2 weeks of processing and not being able to apply back to the same solution for some time.

  • 2 Years Filed Business or Personal Financial Documents
    Financial Documents can be one of the following: Tax Returns, Income Statements, and Balance sheets or audited CPA profit and loss statements for the most recent 2 years.These financial documents are required when asking for processing volumes of usually $75,000 and upwards.

  • Letter Signed/Dated by you the merchant with your Correct Home Address
    This should be on your business’ letterhead.

  • Screenshot Should Show Corp or Director’s Name and Domain Named.
    (Please see “Domain-Example.pdf” for more information on this.)
