Greetings fellow business owners.

I am starting a business and I applied with excellent credit to citibank/authorize.net and was turned down, for they fear anything internet related. They are concerned with chargebacks. I have a city and state business license and am bonded and insured as a tour broker. I have also formely incorporated with the state. I would like to only accept 25% deposits via cc for the tours and let the customer pay the 75% balance with the vendor.

I also have a business operating account with citibank. I am not going to use a shopping cart but rather a nice carefully constructed php/msql form for taking my reservations online.

Could someone recommend a processor i believe that is reasonable. Authorize.net/citibank wanted $299 setup fee, and .30 cents a transaction and 2.25%. I understand that can be as high as 5.5%. I have been referred to ipay.com and intertrans and ccbill. Opinions wanted. I would like to also hear from anyone in travel and tours.

Thank you,

Michael

Well, they are out there. We don't do recommendations too much around here, as many of our members work for same processors and recommendations would be suspect.
