Unfortunately even those who have managed to make it past the year mark in recent years have all looked to be in it for the quick burn. Get what you can, ride your merchant accounts into the ground, that seems to be the prevailing mentality. No one thinking long term business models. Is it possible for a new iPSP to come along and be a long term player at this point? Dont know, but it certainly seems that way.

I asked a lot of questions and got a lot of good answers. I will be digging into this a bit deeper some today. They have been around for a little over a year and the list of programs that uses them is impressive. A couple of warning bells for me is they don't see any issues with working with a company based in Europe and cross border acquiring and claims that they have increased sign ups to sites by ____%
honestly, that isn't a selling point for me. What is would be things like;
testimonials from the people in the programs that use them that tell me they are honest, pay on time, offer multiple payment options for us, do not have a long hold time and provide multiple options for the members to sign up with.
it wouldn't hurt to know how smoothly they can be integrated in our custom php script for cascading.
I will shoot their rep this thread and see if he has anything he would like to add to the discussion. he seems like a pretty cool guy.
