The real deal on a free offshore merchant account


Have you heard of a free offshore merchant account? This may sound ironic or misleading since the term offshore and free don't usually mix. An offshore merchant account is usually and wrongfully construed for high fees, so where's the FREE factor there?

A free offshore merchant account is real. It is considered as free owing to what a free offshore merchant account offers. With a free offshore merchant account, you can get a terminal with no charge, have a payment gateway set up with no fees, no upfront fees, and free software installations. The discount rate fee will always be there, because that is the fee the bank or the offshore merchant account provider gets for every transaction. Hey, they need to profit just as much as you do as well.

Nothing is absolute but death and taxes and a free offshore merchant account is one of those things that are not absolute and should be taken in a business-like context, not literally. If, as a high risk merchant, you're being offered a free offshore merchant account and the word free relays absolute zero fees, then, that's the time to let the skeptic in you prevail.

A legitimate free offshore merchant account will say that there will be fees, but only those which are necessary. For a better understanding of a free offshore merchant account, read the full article:
