With only a handful of cc processors to choose from, do you think we will see new cc processing companies emerge?

What happens if one or more processors fold? Do you think it will ever dwindle down to just one choice? If so, what will you do?

I would love to see one or two new cc processors form, it has been awhile. I am not naming names or trying to start rumors but there is the potential for there to be one cc processor to choose from. Will this change the industry? Or do you think that we all pretty much rely on one main processor as it is now and the effect would be minimal?

Thoughts please

Back in 1996 when I started in this biz and went to my accountant, he said "A bunch of the big guys should get together and start their own processing company because that's going to be this industry's biggest problem.". They had the ability to do it back then but of course, no one could ever get along with each other for more than 15 minutes.

Combine that with the fact that even when Visa/MC/AMX was raping the industry, we took it up the ass and thanked them because the money was so good, you could lose 50% of it and still end up ahead.

We were too complacent for too long, IMHO. And people are worried the government's going to do the most damage to the industry? I disagree.

Barriers to entry seem very high to start up a new billing company in my opinion. Maybe some mainstream high risk entrepreneurs would be willing to give it a shot, but it doesn't seem worth it right now given the market conditions.

Peaches, you have to understand who is putting pressure on the Industry. Before I started in the industry I was reading ABI World’s Magazine. (It is a trade magazine for bankruptcy attorneys) Purposed bankruptcy reform (where you can’t discharge credit card debt) is the carrot being offered by Republicans in the Senate and the House in exchange for the credit card companies not processing porn. Well the credit card companies can’t just shut down processing for an entire industry otherwise they would be dealing with anti-trust issues so they continue to tighten the regulations hopping to eventually squeeze the third party processors out of business altogether. Once we get done with the 1% they will want %.5 and on and on.

Do you guys think this has the potential of actually happening? If this happens what will this industry do?

I saw a bunch of smaller cc processors that are out of the US at the FL show. Is this an option for us?

Checks may be the long term answer. It seems they are inching closer to real time processing. The government can’t tell people who they can and cannot make checks out to, and banks can’t refuse to honor the checks based upon who they are made out to.

Posting from my assistants login since mine doesn't work ..

Being from Europe I am having a hard time understanding why the US website owners are so brainwashed.

I believe worldwide there are like 30k+ banks,, pretty sure that hunderds still open merchant accounts. A Merchantaccount is nothing more then a line of credit from your bank. Since your clients can chargeback it's the trust from your bank into your business to allow you to process and pay you right away and thus a risk for the bank for 6 months or longer.

Until today you can open merchant accounts and until today new companies are able to process cc's.

Many online business run on their own merchant accounts. Problem in this industry is that there been too many fronts on the same crappy content resulting in a no quality for probably a too high price. As a result your account blows up and here is where the brainwash starts: let's go 3rd party, they will solve my problems.

3rd party companies allowing the smallest webmaster with $10k content to open an affiliate program is probably the biggest mistake ever made.

Sooner or later a new 3rd party will arise for the simple reason there is money to be made. Depositing $20mil in a bank account isn't that much money in the real world ;-)

Just my 2 cnts

-F.

The decision that FDR and it's subsidiaries like CardServices, etc made to drop high risk has nothing to do with bankruptcy laws. This was not a Visa decision, Visa and Mastercard still accept high risk (under their very particular rules and fines system albeit) that can maintain a portfolio that is desirable for them to keep.

This was the equivalent of B of A or Citicorp making a decision, just on a larger scale.

The conspiracy theories don't really excite me, the ones where companies decide what's in the best interest of their own bottom lines do make sense to me however. High risk, by it's very nature, is a money maker for a very very tiny percentage of the banks out there, though all the banks in the system are assessed risk for any of their regional members being in the high risk market. For instance, if there is a bank in a region, say Latin America for instance, that defaults on its Visa responsibilities due to mismanagement or mistakes in their high risk departments, each of the other banks in that region is potentially liable for part of the default amount should the bank that was making the money happen to fail. This occurred a couple of years ago and it's left a bitter taste in many banker's mouths since they don't profit from high risk.

Once you also add in things like $1 cross sales or sites that do not profit the issuing or acquiring banks -- they actually lose money through Interchange on these transactions, it's not very promising.

Don't bet on it. We do quite a bit of volume and I know some others that do as well.

Netbilling.. you must answer this for me....

At what stage would it make sense for a paysite to go for thier own merchant account??

What volume of transactions/revenue etc?

Also would the physical location of the company/webmaster have a bearing on this decision?

If you are processing more than $5k per month for an adult site and are located in the USA, I feel it is worthwhile. If it is non-adult, $1k per month. Offshore adult, $50k. Keep in mind that you have to pay the registration fees to both Visa and Mastercard ($1500) for the US adult merchant account but not for an offshore or mainstream account. However, you do not have to pay it for each processor you use.

The amount of URLs or what those urls are processing has nothing to do with it.

Let me know if you have more questions.

Thank you, Mitch Farber

This is not true. The amount per URL does not matter. It is the total processing volume that does.

wow... US 5k$ - offshore 50k$

Thats a huge difference.

Is there no possibility of getting a merchant account in the same offshore destination as the business is located. Would the revenue amount required come down in such a case?

Netbilling, could you please explain to us the procedure in short of getting a merchant account for offshore companies.

Do we need to deposit a certain amount of money with the bank etc?

What is the approimate cost to setup an offshore adult merchant account?

I'm a newbie here....

What I don't understand is that why are the Cc processing companies caving in & shutting down. They just take cash from a surfer & pay out the webmaster..after deducting their fees (which is quite an amount!) So where do they face a loss in all this.

Ofcourse if its Visa that makes it mandatory for them to have a huge bank balance and all... then thats bullying!!!

P.S. Who owns Visa btw...it seems to be so powerful but still i haven't ever heard of the owner of it anytime!! ;-)

Hi,

There is typically a 10% reserve for offshore. The setup is volume dependant but you must have an EU corp (which the merchant acocunt provider will help setup) to process through our offshore banks.

Call our sales department for more information and to get started.

Can you use these merchant accounts with any processor or just with Netbilling?

Hi, as long as Netbilling is the primary, you can use them with other gateway as the secondary if that gateway is compatible with the bank platform.

Have you seen our system Tonda?

We attempted, when we were developing our adult face in order to actively market to this industry, to include 3rd party processing as part of our services. However, this was to be an expensive endeavor, and, even at that time, very difficult to find a merchant bank to underwrite. Besides the expense, there was a huge learning curve involved, so we opted out. Seeing what has transpired since that time, we are happy with our decision.

My personal thoughts on new 3rd party solutions: I'm sure there will be some try and few succeed. Honestly, though, if these companies who were doing processing for years have gone under, exactly how do the new guys think they fair? I don't feel this model will necessarily die unless regulations change such that the practice is prohibited, but I do think it will be used less frequently than in previous years. It is just safer (though more expensive) to have your own merchant account.

Hi,

For mainstream or adult product sales, the only setup is a $45 app fee. For adult domestic or offshore, the setup is approoximately $2000 including the high risk registration fees. However, once you start saving 50% in processing fees, you quickly recoup ther initial outlay.

I've got a EU corp. I'm not doing 50k$ worth of sales right now, but if its 2000$ for a merchant account, I'd definetly be interested in getting one, cause i still feel it would make business sense getting one.

I will be needing a merchant account eventually, so perhaps I might as well get it now.

Are there any other restrictions that would hinder me from getting a merchant acc?

Have you seen our system Tonda?

I have heard of your system. The type of merchant account you are referring to must use Netbilling as the primary processor. I thought a merchant account could be used with any processor, primary or secondary. Can you explain the difference?

Combine that with the fact that even when Visa/MC/AMX was raping the industry, we took it up the ass and thanked them because the money was so good, you could lose 50% of it and still end up ahead.

We were too complacent for too long, IMHO. And people are worried the government's going to do the most damage to the industry? I disagree.
In 1999/2000 Jettis was formed and the investers were major players...

I was just going to comment on that - I was around and in billing when DMR went down. To say that wasn't pretty would be an understatement....

Jettis used to be invitation only.

There are a lot of issues besides money to setting up a 3rd party biller now, spammers, right wing conservatives, have to go with a privately held bank to get around the whole investor issue, fees, support, blah blah blah.

Visa isn't making it any easier either, at this point, lets just stick our asses in the air, break out the cameras and take it up the ass like the good little whores we are.......


If we could ever get together on anything we would be a powerful lobby but well egos tend to suck the air out of the room.


If 10 years in this industry doesn't make you a realist it sure will make you a fatalist.

True, I forgot about the background of that

Exactly... Jettis even pulled out of 3rd party processing this year.
