Earlier quoted context omitted.

This story actually happened years ago; it was pre-Stripe. The merchant account company simply had no clue about online businesses. Today there are a lot more options. I actually wonder how Stripe does what they do -- I've heard nothing but great things about them. They must have some great banking connections behind the scenes.

what's the name of the Merchant company?

Innovative Merchant Solutions, a division of Intuit

Did you try to sign up with Stripe instead? You could get instantly approved and start processing that level of volume without any blockers from them.
