High Risk Merchant Accounts

High risk merchant accounts are designed to help businesses process payments. Businesses that are, for various reasons, classified as riskier, such as those in industries like CBD, adult entertainment, travel, gaming, and e-cigarettes. Higher risk underwriting with banks that accept those risks, allow the higher risk businesses get approval in the high-risk space and receive competitive rates on their merchant accounts and payment gateways. This allows them to accept credit and debit card payments from customers with ease, while providing an extra layer of security.

Bad News. Good News.

The Bad

As in most industries, high risk generally means higher cost. Payment processing is no different. Generally, a high-risk business can expect to pay higher processing rates than those of a low-risk business.

The Good

Dual Price Payment Processing is now available to high risk business types. Dual Price has a cash price and a slightly higher credit price, as many gas stations have. This allows you to make the same profit on credit sales as cash sales. The credit price pays the payment processing costs dramatically increasing profit.
