Today, high-risk industries include CBD, MLM, travel, timeshare cancellation, nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals, tech support, credit repair, and more. If you run a business in one of these verticals, it is important to work with the right payment processing partner.
Understanding High-Risk Merchant Accounts
When a business is designated as a high-risk merchant account, it typically needs to go through increased scrutiny before receiving merchant services. In addition, these companies may be limited to a certain number of transactions per month or need to have a certain amount of cash reserves. In most cases, these businesses will pay different fees and/or process rates than other conventional businesses.
There are, however, various benefits to enjoy if you qualify. For example, you can operate internationally and accept cards like JCB, UnionPay, and Europay, as long as you are headquartered in the U.S.; sell a wider range of products and services; process higher sales volumes (great for launching special sales and events); and offer recurring payments.
Choose the Best High-Risk Merchant Services Provider
You should work with a merchant services provider that accepts more than just credit cards. Alternative payment solutions suit customers who do not want to provide their personal information or do not own credit cards. Before you choose a high-risk payment gateway, you need to ensure that the company has safeguards in place to protect their clients (you) against fraud. Good payment gateways are typically integrated with anti-fraud software that fend off high-chargeback ratios.
