I don’t have a merchant account but I am planning on accepting card payments Via a chip and pin device, you need a merchant number to do this. If I sign up for a paypal payments pro account, aswell as being able to use virtual terminal and website checkout integration, would I also get a merchant number so I can use a chip and pun device to fund my paypal merchant account. I am wanting to do it this way as I only use a personal bank account not a business one due to low credit score.

Have not heard of the merchant navy before and am curious at how different it would be (if at all) to what i would be doing in the merchant marines. For example would i travel more in the merchant navy and what type of jobs do they offer over merchant marines. Lastly could i join the merchant navy after already getting my credentials for the MM or would i have to get additional training and paperwork before i could join. And if anyone can give me a number for any US based merchant navy office i would like to check it out.
