If you want to peruse the process http://mkn.co.uk/bank - about opening accounts http://mkn.co.uk/help/bank/register - account contract http://mkn.co.uk/help/bank/regkey - registering each key mandate We do intend putting some form of PGP signature checking facility in for clearing ECheques later, but for the moment the standard ECheque form generated by WorkHorse is what we accept. The Standard ECheque is nothing more than a BER encoded sequence similar to a certificate request with a standard PKCS signature at the end of it which is then Base64 encoded (but if you use the decoding facilities in WorkHorse you can see this). Britain .... first again. We did clear an ECheque in September, but this is now the real McCoy. Merchant accounts cost nothing to open and the transactional charge for a Merchant to receive Sterling (not ecash denominated in Sterling) is 1%. The accounts can be reviewed online and they are real bank accounts (in Sterling however). Other Merchant transactions are costed as usual see conditions (eg 40p per cheque - paper cheque). If you want to integrate ECheques and the web simply see our flower ordering form http://mkn.co.uk/load/ordflow John --- end forwarded text ----------------- Robert Hettinga (rah@shipwright.com) e$, 44 Farquhar Street, Boston, MA 02131 USA (617) 958-3971 "Reality is not optional." --Thomas Sowell The NEW(!) e$ Home Page: http://thumper.vmeng.com/pub/rah/
