Ask HN: Which bank would you recommend for a merchant account?

7 pointsbreck4 comments

We are setting up Authorize.net and are deciding on a bank to create our merchant account with.

We could go with our regular bank, Wells Fargo, but I'm curious to see what other people use.

Thanks!

We're based in the US and use Elavon. We're also members of Costco, so we use this plan: http://www.elavon.com/acquiring/costco/. It's been a while since I've done a price comparison, but (for our needs) Elavon was cheaper than Wells Fargo and others.

awesome, i'm a costco member as well!

thanks for sharing.

If you were based in the UK, i'd recommend Barclays - IMO, they're by far the most innovative when it comes to supporting online business.

For those that are based in the UK, in what way to Barclays stand out?
