InternetSecure Guarantees Your Merchant Status
InternetSecure will issue and guarantee your U.S. Dollar Merchant status for Visa, MasterCard and Discover at this time. Your transactions are settled by wire transfer to your designated business bank account in U.S. dollars.
For many small to medium companies the first barrier to conducting legitimate credit card transactions via the Internet is qualifying and acquiring Credit Card Merchant Status. Banks around the world are reluctant to deal with mail order/telephone and Internet merchants. If they do grant merchant status, they will usually require substantial security deposits prior to the merchant actually generating revenues over the Net. Internetsecure breaks down these barriers immediately!
As an approved Internet Merchant Acquiring organization, we have the authority to grant merchant status for use with the InternetSecure system. This is made possible in part by our track record with Internet transactions since 1996 and the fact that we guarantee all merchants' accounts to our financial institutions. We are authorized to provide merchant status for Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover to our merchants. It is not necessary for our merchants to obtain merchant status from their bank.
Canadian and United States dollar merchant status is available for all qualified merchants, regardless of their country of origin. There are no requirements to incorporate or open bank accounts in Canada or the United States to be an InternetSecure merchant.
InternetSecure will provide each of its merchants with a unique merchant number to be used by our system so that "YOUR MERCHANT NAME via Internetsecure" will appear on your client's monthly credit card statement for each purchase from your web site.
InternetSecure Inc. is a Canadian Corporation founded in 1995 to develop a secure, on-line, real-time credit card processing system for Internet merchants. The solution was to be easy to implement, require no capital investment by the merchant and able to provide merchant status. As important to our merchants and ourselves was that this system be approved by Canadian and United States banks for use by merchants throughout the world.
In March, 1996 the Company became the first in Canada to demonstrate a secure, on-line, real-time credit card processing system at the Canadian Internet Show in Toronto. We have subsequently been approved by 9 major North American financial institutions.
Our first Merchant went into production in June, 1996. Since then we have grown, like the Internet, as more and more Merchants have recognized the need to accept credit cards in real-time in order to make money from their web sites.
From our original Canadian merchant, we have added merchants in over 84 countries around the world selling goods and services to consumers and businesses in over 175 countries.
