There are many merchant account providers offering US card processing services. You can Google "merchant account" or "credit card processing" or a similar term. For tips on what to look for in a processing proposal, click on the first link below. Once you select your provider you can go ahead with the application process. Generally the following documents will be required during a merchant account application process:

1. A merchant application - you will have to complete and sign this form. It includes general information about you and your business.

2. A copy of your organization's Articles of Incorporation, unless you are a sole proprietor.

3. A copy of a voided check for the account that you will want your money to be deposited into.

4. Business or personal financials. Your tax returns for the last two years may be requested if your business is new.

Once all required paperwork is submitted, the set up of your merchant account should take no longer than two business days.
