Reasons a Merchant May Be
Considered High-Risk

Merchants may be considered high-risk due to their industry, location, customer base, or payment processing history. The reasons to be considered one…

High transaction volume

Merchants, who have high transaction rates, may be considered high-risk. If a merchant processes over $20,000 in payments per month, or has an average transaction of $500 or more, it may be categorized as high-risk.

Accepting international payments

If a merchant sells to people in countries that are considered risky (excluding the United States, Canada, Japan, Australia, and European countries), they might be classified as high risk.

New merchant

If the merchant is new or doesn't have much of a track record, they might be seen as risky because there isn't enough information about them. Likewise, if a merchant has a low credit score, they could also be considered high-risk.

High-risk industry

While a merchant may have a flawless record, they may be labeled high-risk due to the industry, which is considered less trustworthy than other industries.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Confused? Curious about us and our services? Ask away anything you want! We are ready to satisfy your queries.

High-risk payment processing refers to the payment processing of businesses or industries with a high risk associated with their transactions. These businesses typically fall into industries with a higher likelihood of fraud, chargebacks, or legal issues.

Directly providing high-risk merchant accounts would put banks at financial and reputational risk, which Tier 1 banks would avoid. Consequently, banks can only provide high-risk merchant accounts. That’s why most traditional banks avoid providing high-risk merchant accounts because of the increased risk of chargebacks and fraud.
To obtain a high-risk merchant account, you must consider alternative options such as payment service providers or ISOs with partnerships with Tier 1 or Tier 2 banks. Several specialized payment processors and merchant account providers cater specifically to high-risk businesses. Here are some examples of banks and financial institutions that provide high-risk merchant accounts:

  • Square
  • Durango Merchant Services
  • Payline Data
  • PaymentCloud
  • eMerchantBroker

To obtain a high-risk merchant account, you must have the following:

  • Must be a US resident
  • Owning a company
  • And some other vital requirements

Merchants who handle a large number of transactions or have a high average transaction value may be classified as high-risk. If a merchant processes payments exceeding $20,000 per month or has an average transaction value of $500 or more, they may be considered high-risk, including those who accept international payments.

Payment gateways that accept high-risk businesses are typically called high-risk payment gateways. Several payment gateways specialize in high-risk businesses and are willing to accept them. Some of them are given below:

  • Authorize.net
  • NMI
  • BlueSnap
  • PayPal
  • Square
  • etc.

  • Gambling
  • Software
