What is a high risk offshore merchant account?
There are several types of businesses that will almost always qualify for a high risk offshore merchant account. One such business is anything adult in nature, such as adult entertainment (strip clubs, escort services and brothels, to name a few specific categories). Other businesses that are labeled as high risk and thus qualify for a high risk offshore merchant account are online pharmacies, online casinos, e-cash agencies (such as cash advance companies that do business online), travel agencies, and the companies that do the bulk of their business via infomercials.
