Let’s end your merchant account frustration.
Feeling frustrated with merchant account providers telling you that your business is “high risk”? There are several reasons banks might consider you a high risk merchant–and none of them need to stop you from getting a merchant account.
You know you need a high risk merchant account when:
- The cardholder is not present during the purchase. If you run an e-commerce business, the simple fact that your customers can’t sign for their purchases make you more vulnerable to chargebacks–and this means more risk.
- You are a start-up merchant with no processing history. If you don’t have a track record to show the bank that you are a reliable merchant with proven processing history, it can be difficult to get approved for a merchant account.
- Your business is in a high risk industry. Online gambling, online pharmacies, and adult entertainment, are a few industries that may require a high risk merchant account.
- You have a history of excessive chargebacks. Most U.S. domestic banks only want to work with merchants who have chargebacks under 1%.
- You have no credit or poor credit. Many merchant banks look not only at your business’ history but at your personal credit score.
