A business is "high risk" to a processor when its industry, sales model, chargeback history, or credit profile carries more exposure than average. That label does not mean you are doing anything wrong. It means you need a partner whose sponsor banks knowingly accept your category, rather than one that approves you by mistake and shuts you down later.
Matched to the right bank
Your application goes to a partner whose banking relationships accept your industry.

FAQ
High-Risk Merchant Accounts questions
What makes a business high risk?
Common factors include the industry, high average tickets, recurring billing, future-dated delivery, high chargeback ratios, international sales, limited processing history, or low personal credit.
Can I get a merchant account after being terminated?
Often, yes. Specialized partners work with merchants who were terminated or placed on the MATCH list, depending on the reason and your current situation.
Are high-risk merchant accounts more expensive?
They usually cost more than low-risk accounts, but many high-risk merchants overpay because of padded fees. A statement review shows what fair pricing looks like for your business.
