What bank for account + credit card processing?

[strokearm]

Hi,

Sorry for so stupid question but I have my online store ready and want to setup offshore company with bank account + credit card processing. I need a total solution the complete package so to say. Is there a bank that offer normal bank account opening and credit card processing at the same time?

I require Internet banking and multi currency account and if possible I want a credit card, Visa or MC is ok.

There is no bank that will offer your both bank account and merchant account in one solution. These two businesses are as far I have seen always seperated from each other.

Can you check it with HSBC? I remember reading similar for expat accounts, back in 2011. You can contact the bank and communicate the requirements.
