This is where I applied for a merchant account https://www.imaxapp.com/Instant_Merchant_Account / for reference.
IMAX Bancard Network's website: http://www.imaxbancard.com/
So one day when I didn't quite have a lot of (spendable) money I decided to sign up for a merchant account, under the impression that it would be free.' The link that took me to the page above mentioned free, so as the link directs me to its destination, I can't help but run on the assumption that it's going to be free. I mean, free merchant accounts? In this day and age? Well, it definitely crossed my mind that such a thing would be too good to be true. Before I decided to fill out the app. I scanned the site (which is a landing page) looking for anything regarding monthly charges or fees and found nothing. On that particular affiliate' page (if not on all of them) there are short instructional' voice clips. You may notice that the voice clip for the Bank Name field only informs you that the bank information you provide is so the money that you make with your merchant account can be transferred directly to your bank account.
At this point I figured still no mention of fees, might as well continue'. After the bank information you have the chance to read the Terms and Conditions, which I've read but did not print out. At any rate it doesn't seem to mention any sort of monthly fees. After that we arrive at the bottom, with four checkboxes. Three of the four checkboxes are listed in the Terms and Conditions scroll box while the Program Guide is a separate link.
It should be noted that the one and ONLY email mentioning anything regarding this entire application, it's process, or status, was sent to my junk mail folder, which I seldom check.
