Entrepreneur Magazine Ranks 2Checkout.com as One of the Hot 100 Fast-Growth Businesses in the U.S.

During the period of March 19 – March 25, European customers’ credit card statements may have indicated a transaction from an unknown merchant, “PTI Europe” or “PTI Europe Region”. This notation is a technical coding error from the credit card payment processor for our company. This error will be reversed and corrected with the proper Merchant information on their statements on or before April 1.
We apologize for any concern or inconvenience that this may have caused you.
You can attach multiple accounts to your re-loadable 2CO branded MasterCard. You do not need a separate card for each account. To do this, you will need to contact Payoneer and give them your Payoneer account number and any vendor numbers that you would like to have attached to your Payoneer card. Once you have given them all of the 2CO vendor account numbers that you would like attached, you must log into each 2CO account and select pay by Payoneer. If you select pay by Payoneer without contacting Payoneer and telling them the vendor account number, no funds will be loaded to the card.
Please contact us directly if you have any questions.

When you are entering your bank information into the Banking Wizard, you will be required to enter your IRC (International Routing Code).

On November 1st 2007 the Canadian dollar hit a new all time high against the US dollar - coming in at 1.0592 US dollars. You’ve probably also heard that the US dollar is at historic lows versus many other major currencies - most notably the British Pound, the Euro, and the Australian dollar.
From an e-commerce perspective, the low dollar presents an unprecedented opportunity for online merchants to venture into the international marketplace. US based sellers can offer a significant price advantage - often totaling more than 40% - over the local choices available to shoppers in Canada, the UK and most of Europe. This price advantage is maintained even when taking into account any extra shipping costs, taxes, duties, etc. a cross border sale may entail.
