Canadian Merchants
Since PayNet is an agent of Harris Bank, and Harris is owned by the Bank of Montreal, we are uniquely positioned to open U.S. merchant accounts for Canadian businesses. Following are the special terms under which Canadian businesses may apply for a U.S. merchant account:

  • The business must have a U.S. depository account. PayNet can facilitate the opening of such an account (business checking or savings) at Harris Bank, or you may open an account at the financial institution of your choice.
  • The business must have a U.S. mailing address.
  • U.S. merchant accounts are available only for non-card-swipe transactions, typically mail-, phone- and Internet-order.
  • Cardholders will be billed in $US and merchants will be credited in $US.
  • The underwriting criteria for Canadian merchants is the same as for U.S. merchants.
  • Pricing is the same as for U.S. merchants.
  • All fees are quoted in $US. Application and setup fees are payable in U.S. currency or by Visa or Mastercard at time of application.

Reporting Provided
In addition to regular and customizable monthly statements, PayNet merchants can access transaction data through a fax-back system, a dial-up software program or via the Web.

Customer Support
PayNet's Customer Service department is staffed during regular Eastern time business hours. Merchants are encouraged to call us with any questions or problems. Processor help desks are staffed 24-hours-a-day, 7-days-a-week. Merchants may call a help desk for terminal support or to confirm batch transmission. Authorization centers are also staffed 24-hours-a-day, 7-days-a-week.
