How long does it take to get a merchant account?
The application process could take anywhere from 24 hours to 48 hours. It will all depends on how soon you submit the required documentation. Once all your documents are received they are immediately processed and an approval email with all the information you need to begin using your account is sent out to you by email or regular mail.
Getting a merchant bureau account typically takes 5 to 10 business days, longer if you choose to apply directly through a bank. We step you through the application process providing expert guidance and advice. For new merchants with a limited trading history, our merchant bureau services allow them to get started quickly and build their own payment history over time. Merchants with an established track record can choose to go direct or through our merchant bureau.
