Nominees and marchant account

[bonox]

Something I have been wondering about...
How to get a merchant account when registering an offshore company with nominees ?
Some documents such as passport copy and utility bill are required by the bank to open the account.
Are nominees use to give away such documents?
If not, how to get a MA in that case ?

I'm not personaly involved but very curious about this issue

You won't get any nominees to sign any merchant contract for you, most often the beneficial owner will sign on behalf of the nominee director since it is what the Acquiring bank is requiring. For some years ago there was a service available who actually was signing for merchants I guess they got burned..

Thats not true jpay, I found a agency service which has just signed for our Merchant Account...

Who is this agent / company ? If they sign on behalf of a merchant they may be crazy or not knowing what they are doing..

Power seems you need to elaborate a little

You will never get a nominee to sign the bank account forms they will only provide their due diligence. Any genuine Merchant Provider can work round this.
