I currently use Quickbooks Merchant Services, but I know an agent who
also does it so you can check out both.

Also Braintree, also fine, and competitively priced. We use the PayPal
Payflow Pro gateway, which was included in the price, as PayPal owns
Braintree.

I am sure that the problem is not for the giants of the industry but
small
telecom companies now have the negative label "VoIP".
It does not really matter what you do exactly and how you provide
services
not even if you have years of clean record, the banking industry
defines
you as "VoIP" and it does not matter much what you say.
Yeah, we had a huge problem with this when we at JMP moved from ad hoc
payments to a proper payment processor. Stripe explicitly disallowed
"phone services" (some have told me you may be able to get written
approval for an exception, but I haven't heard of anyone who
succeeded), and others we tried (like Bambora) told us after
onboarding that actually they don't support new VoIP customers. We
had specifically tried Bambora because we saw they processed payments
for VoIP.ms. But they claimed that was grandfathered and they
wouldn't do it again.
Anyway, we use Braintree now, which is just like any other processor
from what we can tell. It may be better in the sense that they vet
you before letting you start accepting payments (vs. Stripe, which
vets you after, and freezes your funds if their later vetting process
finds they don't like you). But otherwise they seem to have the same
pricing, and happen to accept phone service providers as customers.
Frankly, we prefer other payment methods, since they have way less
fraud than credit cards, but of course people like credit cards for
various reasons. I'm sure others here have tips on reducing fraud
(especially if you let people dial international numbers) if that's a
concern of yours.
If you meant something other than a payment processor, my apologies.
We didn't have issues getting a bank account, only a payment
processor, which is I why I responded this way.
