I was involved in working on something like this for a business in the travel industry. They acquired in about 12 currencies, including USD. We used Citibank Singapore to acquire in everything except NZD and AUD for which we used local banks. However this was for large amounts of money (I would guess at least a million per month per currency) so the level of attention and customisation available might be different.
Credit charge interchange in the US is a lot higher (maybe 2-3 %) so if the merchant service fee is looking expensive, that is one reason (because a big chunk of the money goes back to the issuer of the cards.) In Australia the Reserve Bank has been regulating the interchange rates downwards, which is why it's less expensive to accept credit cards here. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Silicon Beach Australia mailing list.
