Offshore Merchant account / Off-shore Merchant Account

Offshore ecommerce banks tend to provide a better service for certain businesses, especially for high risk businesses and outside the US ecommerce businesses. 70% of our bank partners are situated in Europe. Europe is a strong and secure economic centre in the world. Our bank partners are trusted by millions! The choice of our offshore banks is vast. Each bank has its own rates, terms, initial conditions, and guidelines. Our professional staff will help you and advise you to get the best international offshore merchant account for your business, depending on your volume and chargeback rates.

Getting accepted for an offshore merchant account is comparatively easier than getting accepted for a domestic merchant account. The only difference between the working of an offshore merchant account and the domestic merchant account is mainly the bank location that serves them both. The bank that serves the normal merchant account generally resides in the same country, while the bank that offers an offshore merchant account resides in a different country.

Since ecommerce businesses are becoming more and more competitive, the major advantage is that there is no hassle involved in opening an offshore merchant account; you get better service and there are almost no deposit requirements. Other major advantages of an offshore merchant account are:

  • Easy Access - With modern technology the world has become a much smaller place. The business owners are no longer limited to doing business with just one company or in a single country.
  • Economical Advantages - No longer bound to select a bank in one country, the business becomes capable of finding the best deal anywhere in the world.
  • Offshore Credit Card Processing - It enables the business to accept payments in multiple currencies.
  • Reduction in Taxes - the offshore merchant account by Perpetual Payments offers significantly reduced rates of taxation.

Although some offshore banks and credit card processors charge a slightly higher processing fee, with the increase in competition daily this trend is now changing. Business owners everywhere now prefer offshore merchant accounts over domestic merchant accounts for the many advantages available.
