Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat if my business is not based in the U.S. or Canada?

We cannot accept non-US businesses for our domestic merchant account services.

The requirements for a business to be able to process through a domestic merchant account are an American bank checking account and a main physical location in the U.S. Once these requirements are met, a business can apply for a domestic merchant account.

We do also provide payment processing options for Canada-based businesses. Reach out for more information info@ascentpaymentsolutions.com
