A high-risk merchant account is a specialized type of merchant account designed for businesses that are considered high risk by payment processors and financial institutions. These businesses typically face a higher likelihood of chargebacks, fraud, or other potential issues that may pose a risk to the payment processor.
High-risk merchant accounts often come with higher processing fees, stricter terms, and additional security measures to mitigate potential risks. SlidePay specializes in high-risk merchant accounts and has expertise in managing the unique challenges associated with these businesses and are equipped to handle the increased potential for disputes and fraud.
Various factors can contribute to a business being classified as high risk, including:
Some industries are inherently riskier due to a higher incidence of chargebacks or fraud.
Businesses operating in industries with complex regulatory environments or legal uncertainties may be deemed high risk.
A history of a high volume of chargebacks, poor credit history or financial instability of the business owner can lead to a high-risk classification.
High international transactions may be considered high risk due to the increased likelihood of fraud and other complications.
It is important for businesses operating in high-risk industries to work with a reputable payment processor, like SlidePay, that understands their specific needs and can offer tailored payment solutions to mitigate the risks associated with payment processing. We offer a high approval rate with industry best pricing.
