Come on, without these online payment merchants, there would be no online shopping right? Who in their right mind would be willing to share their credit card information directly to those online shops? It is like playing with your own fully loaded pistol and hoping for a miss. Without these "trusted" sources, we probably won't see such a huge increase in Internet sales at all. So yes, they are a necessary "evil". ImGlobal offers a wide range of payment solutions to their clients, from Internet credit card processing to pre-paid solutions for both online and offline payments. And they claim that their services are the safest and less prone to fraud. I don't know whether that is true or not, but they are indeed quite sizeable. At least we know that there are a number of online stores and shops using their payment gateway. They offer mobile processing for those who would like to be paid on the go as well.  They do provide a number of business solutions for different industry. Visit their website for more details.
