Re: First Data

   Once you have FD working (and I'm using an i-based product, though the
   settlement is custom), it seems to work well...as reliable as TSYS
   anyway.

     There are any number of vendors I would prefer to use to First Data.
     Admittedly once we had beaten the API into submission we have had no
     problems.
     But if like us you are a small company it is not as simple as "Just
     switch to using X".
     We talked to JetPay (among others) and were told it was going to
     take 6 - 8+ weeks to be approved even though we had existing
     merchant agreements in place. They also required that we provide a
     bunch of financials that we did not have readily to hand. That meant
     paying the accountant to complete the forms, etc. etc. In the end we
     stuck with First Data.
