How do I get started?

How long does it take to get an internet merchant account?
It varies from bank to bank. You'd need to contact your chosen supplier.
What should I say to the banks?
Whichever bank you decide on to supply your merchant account, you'll need to tell them a provider reference when they ask which payment gateway you'll be using. Ours is "UPG".
How long will it take for my funds to clear?
