This is simply a check with VOID written on the face. This checking account is the one linked to your merchant account; i.e., your sales proceeds will be deposited into this checking account and your monthly service fees will be drawn from it.

Important instructions on checking accounts:
• You can use a personal checking account, as long as you use the name printed on your checks as the Legal Business Name on the iPayment application, and the Type of Ownership you specify on the application is Sole Prop (i.e., not Corporation or Partnership).
• If your check displays a business name, you must use this as the business name on the iPayment application, and it must be a name related to your Market America distributorship. (For example, "[Your Name] Enterprises" is acceptable, but "Fifi's Lingerie and Bail Bonds" is not.)
• The check must be from a financial institution within one of the 50 United States. A checking account in a Canadian bank (even if it is a "US funds" account) will not work for a US merchant account. Canadian Distributors: Please click here to apply for a Canadian merchant account.

2. iPayment Merchant Processing Application

Please click here for the application. To view and print it, you need Adobe Acrobat Reader. If you don't have Acrobat Reader, it can be downloaded free from Adobe's web site. Depending on the speed of your Internet connection, the application may take a while to appear. Your screen may appear blank until it does.

This is a four-page document, but a lot of the fields are pre-completed or not required. If you print it out and complete just the highlighted fields, it won't take long at all.

For detailed instructions on completing the required fields, scroll down this page to "iPayment Merchant Processing Application: Line-by-Line." If you have any questions, please click here to contact support or call 801-951-8250, identifying yourself as a Market America Distributor.

Submitting Your Application

Please fax the voided check and the completed iPayment Merchant Processing Application to iTransact at 801-951-8222.

Put the check on its own page; do not cover up application verbiage with it. Please note also that faxes of original checks, especially those with dark or flag backgrounds, are often too dark to read. For better results, make a light copy and fax the copy.

Or you can mail these items to:
          iTransact, Inc. (attn: MA New Accounts)
          PO Box 999
          314 South 200 West
          Farmington UT 84025-0999

Please allow up to two weeks from the date of receipt to process and activate your account.

Thank you! We look forward to working with you!

iPayment Merchant Processing Application:
Line-by-Line

Page 1 of 4
Write your 9-digit Distributor ID (not your 7-digit Rep ID) at the top.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Merchant's Legal Business Name: Use your name as the business name (unless you have legally established a corporation, LLC, etc., for your Market America business). If you are a couple doing business together, use just one of your names throughout this application. This does not have to match what Market America has on file for your distributorship.
Doing Business As Name: This is what your customers will see on their credit card statements, so choose something they will recognize. It can be the same as the Legal Business Name. However, if your voided check displays a business name, you must use that business name here. (It cannot be the name of a different business type; for example, "Joe's Bar & Grill" would not work.)
Business Address, City/State/Zip: This must be a physical address (not a PO Box or PMB) within the 50 United States.
County and How Long: Not needed.
Mailing Address, City/State/Zip: Complete these if you want your merchant account mailings to go to a different address from the one above. Otherwise, put "Same." This must be a US address.
Federal Tax ID: Put your Social Security number (SSN) unless you know and use a 9-digit Federal (not state) Tax ID or Employer Identification Number (EIN).
Business Phone: Put the phone number your customers can call to talk to you (not your ATG voicemail number). It is OK if this is your home or mobile number.
Customer Service Phone: You can put "Same."
Business Fax: List this if you have one.
Contact Name: Your name.
# of Locations: 1.
Time in Business and Business Hours: Not needed.
