As part of implementing a new currency solution for Vendor Account Sign ups, 2CO is giving away free
vendor accounts.

As per their blog…

1. Signup using a Visa or MasterCard and a currency other than US Dollars.

2. This incentive program will be run from 10am-10pm EST on Tuesday, May 6 and all currency signups placed within that timeframe will be refunded within the following 5 business days.

3. This promotion is open to both new suppliers and existing suppliers who want to obtain an additional account.

I discovered an alternative to PayPal today. At first glance, there were many similarities. But on further investigation, it promises to make online payments easier.

AlertPay.com simplifies bank transfers, bank wires, direct deposits and other payment methods – everything except cash.

AlertPay’s team of 25 works to ensure extra security for all transactions. Back-end flagging services alert banks to security breaches, and automated fraud-tracking tools lock down accounts when activity is abnormal.

The introductory rate for AlertPay is 2.5% per transaction as compared to PayPal’s transaction fees.
