    Panama Merchant Account for E-Commerce

    Hi Friends,

    I hope everyone is doing well

    Does anyone know of any banks in Panama that provide merchant accounts for e-commerce?

    I did a whole heap of research today (about 4 hours) and couldn't find a great deal.

    Any help would be very much appreciated,

    Kind Regards,

    Samantha

    There are a few, among them Multibank and Credicorp. Compared to a US processor you will have a 20 % reject rate so you need a backup processor in the US. Minimum monthly processing is usually $10,000 with a rolling reserve and a time deposit of 10-20,000 as security.

    Best wishes, Ed

    Hi Ed,

    Thanks so much for your help.

    I will contact both of those banks and see how we go.

    Are they the 2 main one's that offer merchant services, or would you possibly know of any others?

    Great guide too in your link...could have done with that yesterday when I was doing my research Just a quick question in regards to your site...is the banks with the rating AAA the best ones, or is A the best rating?

    Thanks again,

    Samantha

    Samantha (and for anyone else here) -- I am VERY good friends with the risk manager at one of the banks. I can help you get approved (or save you time and money if you're NOT going to get approved -- we can get the answers before you even apply).

    Just private message me if you want some help.
    Matt
