Depending on the volume of business you're funneling, you might be required to register directly with the card schemes, with respect to your merchant account.

You also would most likely be classified as a PF (Payments Facilitator).

If you're touching the money and holding on to it, you would be classified as a Money Transmitter, so you would need Money Transmitter Licenses.
