Please fill in the applicable fields below, then
click the SUBMIT button located at the bottom of

the following items required by the Nova underwriters:
- A blank, voided CHECK for the account into
which you want funds deposited. The check must
include either the Corporate name or the DBA
name printed on it. If you are a new business
and have not yet received your checks from your
bank, ask your bank to write a letter on their
letterhead stating that your account is open
and active, and giving the account number and
bank routing number. This letter must then be
signed by a bank officer. (This is a very routine
request for a bank and they probably have a
form letter available for the purpose).
- If you are currently receiving services
from another credit card processor, fax to us
copies of three recent months' statements from
that processor. The statements must be complete
(all the pages must be included, even if they
don't seem important), the statements must be
for sequential months, and they should be within
the last several months.
- In order to comply with Federal Reserve
banking security requirements when opening a
credit card merchant account for a location
where neither we nor the bank has personally
been on site, we must have copies of either
(a) a local business license or (b) a state
tax certificate or (c) state incorporation papers.
Any ONE of these documents will do, but they
must be in the name of either the corporation
or the DBA name.
- Once we have received the complete form
and all required attachments, we will prepare
a formal application which must be signed by
at least 50% of the ownership. We will call
you prior to faxing the forms so that we may
answer any questions you have. We will fax the
forms to you for signature, you will fax the
signed forms back to us, we will forward them
to the underwriters. Once in the hands of the
underwriters the approval process generally
takes about 5 business days. Underwriting then
forwards the approval to another department
that sends us special coding necessary to initiate
the merchant account in the DMS software. DataWedge
technical personnel will then call in to your
system to insert the codes, a process that takes
only a few minutes.
PLEASE ALLOW 10-14 BUSINESS DAYS FOR PROCESSING
