Does My Business Need a High-Risk Payment Processor?

There is no central framework that all banks and credit card processors use to determine whether you are a high-risk or low-risk business. However, several verticals are commonly considered high risk, and most payment processors will refrain from doing business with such businesses or industries.

Typically, your business falls into a high-risk category if it faces the following challenges:

High Risk of Fraud

If your industry or niche has high fraud levels, payment processing companies will naturally consider you high-risk and avoid conducting business with you.

High or Irregular Transactions

If your business often receives high or irregular transactions, most payment processors automatically flag your account as high risk.

History of Payment Processing Violations

An industry or niche with a record of payment processing violations will be considered high risk by most payment processors.

Risks of Excessive Chargebacks

While it is normal for e-commerce stores to have chargeback requests if your industry or niche experiences excessive chargebacks, you are a high-risk business type.

Recurring Expenses

Receiving many recurring payments will never look good for your business, as payment processing companies often flag such transactions as fraud.

Newly Established Niche

It is common for emerging industries and niches to be considered high-risk until there is assurance that they can be categorized as low-risk businesses. Equally, businesses with low credit scores or poor payment processing history are also often considered high risk.

Trade of Highly Regulated Products or Services

If you trade highly regulated products such as CBD (Cannabidiol), e-cigarettes, vaping products, adult products/services, firearms, supplements, or debt collection, your business will be considered high risk.

International Payments

If your business gets payments from lots of different currencies, it is best to consider using high-risk merchant accounts before you start experiencing problems with your existing payment processing company.
