History

Founded in 1997 by Bradley Wilkes, ProPay has boarded more than 1.5 million merchants. Along with PayPal, Skrill, and Paymate, ProPay is one of the select few payment solutions authorized for use on the online auction site eBay.[1] In 2008, the payments industry began calling for a service to remove payment data from the merchant environment in order to reduce the risk of compromise. In 2009, ProPay was among a handful of companies that began to offer an end-to-end encryption and tokenization service.[2] At that time, ProPay also introduced the MicroSecure Card Reader®, allowing small merchants to securely accept card present transactions.[3] In 2010, ProPay received the Independent Sales Organization of Year award from the Electronic Transaction Association.[4]

As of May 2015, account requirement requests from Propay by email for an inquiry about using Propay for selling auto parts were thus:

... 1. A copy of a voided bank check 2. A list of products or services sold including prices (a copy of a price list or URL of your schedule of fees would suffice) 3. A copy of your business license 4. A copy of your service agreement or a sample contract your customers sign 5. Supplier documentation and contact information (if applicable) 6. A copy of a local advertisement (if applicable) Also, After a careful analysis of the business for which your ProPay Account will be used, ProPay has determined that in order for us to support this account, a reserve of $1000.00 will be required at the current limits of $500 per transaction and $3000 per month. This determination was made in part because of the high-risk nature of the business (Automobile Parts), selling online, and the relative newness of the account. The reserve will be funded with the first $X00.00 in the ProPay balance. The reserve will be set aside for a minimum of 180 days while a processing pattern and account history are established. After 180 days, the reserve requirement will be re-evaluated.

If you do not wish to create a reserve amount, funds already in your account (if applicable) will be held for a period of at least 120 days and then released...
