Frequently Asked Questions

What Are High Risk Products?

High risk products are products and services that are sold by merchants who operate within high-risk industries. The list of industries considered high risk is long and includes nutraceuticals, magazine subscription services, CBD, debt consolidation, multi-level marketing, travel, and many more.

Other products and services considered high risk include those that are sold at high-dollar amounts and those that are sold on subscriptions or payment plans.

What is a High Risk Merchant Account?

High risk merchant accounts help merchants who are considered high risk to accept credit card and debit card transactions. They’re optimized for merchants who are susceptible to high chargeback ratios or whose practices may result in potential loss for the banks and merchant account providers that grant them account services.

What Makes a Business High Risk?

In most cases, businesses are considered high risk if they operate within an industry that’s deemed high risk; however, some that operate outside of these industries may still be considered high risk if they offer free trials, subscription plans, have an average ticket dollar amount over $50, sell more than $20,000 in products or services each month or have a high chargeback ratio or a poor credit history. Applying for a high risk merchant account is the best option for these businesses.

What are High Risk Businesses?

High risk businesses are those that can’t obtain standard merchant processing accounts from traditional banks and payment processing companies. If they meet conditions such as selling products or services that are part of a high risk industry, taking part in risky business practices such as free trials and subscription services or have excessive chargebacks, they may be considered high risk and run the risk of being denied banking services such as loans, merchant services and insurance.

What is Considered a High Risk Merchant?

High risk merchants are classified as businesses that meet one or more of the following conditions:

  • The business owner or guarantor has a poor personal or business credit history

  • The business sells a product or service that’s considered high risk
