MerchantGuy (ISO) vs. Paypal, Square, Stripe, and other Group Accounts (IPSP)

MerchantGuy is an Independent Sales Organization (ISO), a specialist in merchant accounts that can adjust your account configuration and rates to be appropriate for your business. ISOs work directly with banks and credit card processors to set up their clients with individual merchant accounts. These accounts provide more account stability, FDIC insured transactions, and reduced processing fees. If your business is stable and doing more than $3,000 in sales a month, getting your own merchant account through MerchantGuy is the best choice for you.

Paypal, Google Checkout, Square, and Stripe.com are Internet Payment Service Providers (IPSP). With these services, you don’t open your own line of credit through a merchant account and instead use theirs. They charge higher rates for their service to cover the risk they assume in processing your transactions. IPSPs can also freeze your account in certain circumstances, which you can avoid with a direct merchant account. If you are a startup business or are doing less than $3000 a month in sales, an IPSP is a good fit for your business. This type of account can be set up quickly with little to no paperwork or documentation but, you will pay a higher rates and there is risk that your account may be frozen, your deposits being delayed up to 180 days or your account forced closed without notification.
