What are the requirements to set up a merchant account?

To set up a merchant account you will most likely need the following:

1. Copy of your drivers license- this is for signature verification
2. Copy of a printed check- Proves the account belongs to you
3. Copy of a business licence or utility bill- to prove the business address
4. Copy of a home utility bill- If your license is not your current address and you are not listed in the phone book they may require proof of your home address
5. Marketing material-some processors require a website or flyer for more proof that your company is real
