International websites increasingly accept bank payments from U.S. consumers

Payment21 LLC is a Payment Service Provider whose most recent offering is Instant eCheck™ processing. This payment method allows international merchants to accept U.S. check payments via the Internet securely. Bank payments such as demand draft and direct debit transactions from U.S. consumers can be processed easily. Payment21 allows web merchants to conduct business with U.S. consumers quickly and securely and without the necessity of a U.S. bank account.

It is virtually impossible for a merchant outside of the States to open a U.S. checking account. Those few banks that are willing to accept international merchants will most likely impose security deposits and an endless amount of requirements to the point that most merchants just can’t afford the account. In general, U.S. banks see substantial risk in dealing with foreign merchant account holders. They incorrectly perceive that non-resident businesses will have higher than normal return claims from customers. Payment21.com’s Check21 and ACH payment processes changes all of this with.

Payment21.com’s gateway provides international merchants with financial access to more customers than any other payment method in the U.S.A. Funds clear faster and at much lower cost than credit cards.
