The rest of the world respects your business more than the US…??
There are a variety of reasons to set up an Off Shore account. One of the largest reasons merchants set up off shore accounts is the higher tolerance for charge backs. Inside of the United States, Visa only allows 1% of a merchant’s total credit card sales volume (or transaction volume – Visa’s choice) to be charge backs. If you exceed 1%, you run the risk of Visa shutting down your merchant account. Visa International is a separate entity from Visa North America and has a 2% charge back tolerance. This comes in handy for special needs merchants.
The most significant challenge in setting them up is simply having the appropriate connections to banking institutions outside of the United States. Setting up an entity in a foreign country, a bank account and a merchant account can be a daunting, expensive, difficult experience. Add to that the challenge of making sure your bank account and merchant account in a foreign country will work with your online gateway or credit card equipment.
