Conclusion

Card processing Forex merchant accounts are readily available for informational services and software.  These products are acceptable to US payment processors

Yet, changes in US regulations have made it challenging to obtain card processing merchant accounts for Forex trading platforms.  Many Forex trading platforms are now moving to echeck processing for trader accounts. Debit card processing is also available.

For companies targeting customers outside of the US, credit card payment processing is certainly acceptable. International merchant accounts give you the ability to take card payments from customers world-wide.  And offer localized payment options to help you increase your sales and profits.
