So returns from unhappy customers are rare. Shareware can be a trump card with bankers. Bankers are much more comfortable with companies that sell to businesses rather than to consumers. Your banker may ask you to set up a secured savings account for several thousand dollars to secure your credit card account. If those aren't accurate answers, be sure to stress your strategic business plans and growth projections.
Bankers are more impressed by plans and projections than they are by whims and wishes.
Most U.S. banks include MasterCard and VISA in their basic package. American Express, Diners Club and Carte Blanche are usually marketed separately. I've never been asked if I accept Diners Club or Carte Blanche. If you're selling any type of business software, you need American Express merchant status. Years ago, bankers seemed much more comfortable with issuing card swipe machines.
