Home / High Risk Merchant Account

Process with the high risk experts

A high risk merchant account is required for certain industries as they carry a higher risk of fraud and charge backs. While most online businesses can obtain a merchant account with little difficulty, those that are classified as high risk can have considerable difficulty in opening a merchant account, particularly through domestic providers.

Many domestic banks consider a business to be a high risk based on the potential for:

  • Excessive chargeback's and returns
  • Possible legal violations for selling banned services or products
  • Financial liability that the bank or processor may incur whilst processing for the merchant
  • Bad publicity towards the bank for accepting certain types of businesses

Typical high risk merchant account type businesses include:

As a result of getting a high risk classification, many merchants will obtain an offshore high risk merchant account, since they cannot obtain a merchant account from a bank onshore for credit card processing.
