Merchant account recommendations?

3 points by mp3jeep01 ↗ HN
Does anyone have any suggestions of a good bank or other group to go through to start using credit cards as a billing option? Something that doesn't take a bit cut of the charge preferably.

What currencies are you going to be charging in?

What api requirements/constraints do you have?

US Dollar, hopefully can expand beyond US eventually, but need to start somewhere...

Billing will be invoiced monthly, with recurring payments (charges) against the card - I will not always have physical access to the card, so will need a remote billing solution.

I know Intuit offers a few, just want to know what others have used.

i'd look into chase paymentech or authorize.net if you are able to get a merchant account. chase's api is pretty blackbox but they have a soap api as well. authorize is less black box. Afaik, aka last time i checked, a while ago - chase was offering better rates and transacts in many currencies.
Awesome, thank you for the tips! I'll check them out...
