Default Worldpay Account Reserve REALLY high :(

Hi all.

I have applied to Worldpay for an account based on their startup business special offer.

I have received an email stating that in order to set up the account there will need to be a reserve put on the account of £10,000!!!

This to me is absolutely rediculous. My PERSONAL credit history isnt great due to being involved in 2 car accidents, but even so, to apply that to a STARTUP business sounds like they WANT the business to fail!

I wanted to use Paypal Pro (setup already) and Worldpay as they offer the all in one merchant account and payment processing.

Any thoughts?

Many Thanks

Gary

Thanks for the reply.

I always feel that Paypal is a 'must have' addition to the payment options, but not the MAIN solution.

Hmmmm.........

Is this for customers to pay for your website design services or do you have e-commerce sites needing these options?

I use WorldPay and to be honest it's not as good as people might think.

Have you thought about using Protx?

Cant use Protx as I would need a merchant account with my bank (and my useless bank manager has said that wont happen)

Nochex looks ok.

I am ideally looking to keep all the payment 'on website' as opposed to redirecting to hosted payment pages
