What is a High-Risk Merchant and why might I need a High Risk Merchant Account?
High Risk Merchants are service providers with businesses that have a high credit rate or a business that has a high turnover but also, an increased risk of fraud. Merchants who run high risk businesses have a hard time finding credit card processing options. Very few online merchant account providers are willing to take the risk to support the merchants and if they do the charges applied are so high that it is at times not feasible.
