Actual Customer Feedback

"We use them. We signed up about a year ago with Charge.com for Authorize net. Signup was pretty easy. No problems so far."

"Charge.com was once an agent for Cardservice. Cardservice is about the only United States merchant account provider that will support international merchants (with the above fees as listed). Charge.com became their own ISO and they probably use Cardservice for their international merchants."
