Here?s how to determine if you need high risk processing for your business, and if so, how to choose the right payment processing company.

What Are High-Risk Merchants?

Businesses considered high risk are typically in industries associated with high chargeback rates, lots of fraud, or ones that are heavily regulated. Some examples of high-risk industries are e-cigarettes, gambling, telecom, firearms, travel services, electronics, event tickets, dating websites, adult entertainment, direct marketing, nutraceuticals, web software development, international business, and furniture and jewelry online.

Choosing a High Risk Processor

It?s not uncommon for high-risk merchant accounts to get turned away by payment processors. With that said, be cautious of the companies out there that advertise as ?high-risk merchant account providers,? as some are just looking to take advantage and charge high risk merchants outrageous rates, simply because they think that they can get away with it.
