I agree with Chin. The charges are high, but it is one of the few companies that provide globally.

2Checkout is one of the more affordable ones.

Search. This has been talked about before. I distinctively remember making a post listing out all the major Credit Card processors that are used by companies / web sites in the US.

Hi!

There's this processor that we were going to sign up when we have more singapore clients. It has an office in Union Building so if they fail to pay, we can go down with baseball bats :D

The url's http://www.asiadebit.com/

I spoke to one of their staff and they said if we wanted to cash out the money, it costs only SGD$2 if you choose to deposit to your DBS account. Might want to check them out.

We currently use PaySystems.com. Charges US$10 per wire. No problems so far.

i did contact asiadebit before.

they are just not cheap at all.

if i am not wrong, it will cost 800 to start up, and there are monthly fee.

just wait to see jeremy's post.

That $800 setup is for a Custom billing descriptor. If not, it would be a US$100 setup fee. There is no monthly fees. You could ask them for their Word documentation of their fees. Else, I can send you a copy of these. :D

WorldPay has but the yearly fees are kinda high. Especially for us small time players. Will eat up a large chunk of our profits. Abit dangerous lor asiadebit. But good thing they have an office in singapore. And also, if they charge only $2 for wire into your DBS account, i think it means that they have a merchant account with DBS. And therefore, I think that they have some 'substance' and are not fly by night processors.

I could be wrong, but I hope I'm right. Will be trying them out when we have more singapore clients. Would be worth it then.
