I own a business that relies on call center for customer service and I have also applied for a high risk merchant account offshore. Can i really reduce my overhead costs and total expenses by outsourcing it to other countries in Asia?

I’ve read an article saying some merchant account providers, not being on US soil, are nothing more than scams, is this true?

Who handles the money issues and nitty gritty in merchant account providers? Do they ask help from banks?

Is there any business that’s not eligible?

Are these so-called “reserves” an advantage to the account holder? Y our thoughts will truly be helpful. Thanks!

Is it feasible to set up one? Your answers will truly be appreciated.

or do they only accept credit card?what other modes of payments do they process?

Also, searching info on their standard rates. have read that merchant account fees, especially those offshore are absurd. Any thoughts appreciated. Peace out!
