Best High Risk Merchant Account with Instant Approval

High risk merchants are often automatically disqualified for processing accounts for a variety of reasons. Most often though, the goods or services that they’re selling are the very reason that the merchant is considered high risk. Those that aren’t denied processing accounts are subjected to high risk merchant fees, which are often exorbitant, or long approval times while the bank/payment processor performs necessary background checks to set up a merchant account.

Why Apply for a High Risk Merchant Account

As mentioned earlier, there are many cases where merchants are unable to obtain instant approval credit card processing services for their business. This is usually because their business has been deemed high risk, either as a result of the industry that they operate within, or for other reasons that may include their business or personal credit history, a history of high chargeback ratios, longer chargeback liability periods or having their business named on the Terminated Merchant File (TMF) list.

What to Look for in a High Risk Merchant Services Provider

When searching for a high risk merchant services provider, it’s important to look for more than just credit card processing services. Finding a provider that protects your best interests as a merchant is vital. Key features to seek in a merchant services account include the ability to process payments across multiple supporting banks, high-quality fraud prevention, chargeback protection measures and 24-hour instant support and account access, whether that’s provided online or over the telephone.

High risk merchant fees can be expensive, so it’s also wise to make sure that you understand precisely what you’ll be charged for and how much you’ll be charged. Ask if the fees are charged as a percentage or a flat fee per transaction and make sure the fee is reasonable. Additionally, check your contract for hidden monthly or annual charges and additional fees that may be charged for chargebacks or declined transactions.
