For most traditional retailers, getting a merchant account can be as simple as calling the first processor you find. For non-traditional businesses selling riskier products or offering what banks consider “illegitimate” or taboo services, a high risk merchant account is much harder to come by.
At SMB Global, we’re not like the other guys. We take special care to understand and accommodate the unique needs of the high risk merchants and industries that we work with. We strive to be the single source of information for business owners to help them get approved for a high risk merchant account, maintain their account, and start growing their business.
It can be very confusing for business owners when they are told that their business is “risky”. Often times a merchant is selling legal, legitimate products or services yet banks and credit card processors tell them they need a high risk merchant account.
Some of the reasons a business might be labeled high risk include:
When an underwriter reviews your application, they are primarily focused on two things – that a large number chargebacks won’t go unpaid and whether or not they are exposing themselves to regulatory fines by the government, card brands, or sponsor bank for accepting your business.
You increase your approval odds by assuring the underwriter that you have cash in the bank, a stable, legitimate business model, and clarity about what you are selling. You also need to ensure your website has a secure (SSL), as well as transparent, prominently-displayed terms and conditions for products, services, and shipping process.
One of the greatest frustrations business owners face with their high risk merchant account is how much processing volume they are allotted. Just because you process $100,000 each month in credit card volume doesn’t always mean the underwriter will approve that amount.
Time is the ultimate remedy to getting your processing volume increased. Typically, 3 to 6 months of successful processing with low chargeback ratios, steadily increasing volume, and consistent transaction sizes will allow you to be re-reviewed for an increase in your monthly limit.
Our simple, painless application will help our high risk experts customize a solution for your business while saving you time and frustration.
Credit card processing is complicated, but we make it easy. We leverage our 20+ banking relationships and payments expertise to get your merchant account approved.
The high risk world is tricky, but we’ve done our homework and learned all the ins-and-outs. We take the time to walk you through your options and make sure you get the perfect solution.
ACH & DEMAND DRAFT
For businesses that offer subscription-based products and services or need to offer recurring payments to their customers, ACH offers a more seamless, secure solution than credit cards. Whether you’re looking for lower transaction fees, faster payment, or convenience for both you and your customers, our ACH platform offers simple but effective ways to put your payments on autopilot.
CHARGEBACK PREVENTION SUITE
Excessive chargebacks can derail your processing before you even have a chance to get started. Our robust, chargeback prevention platform monitors your merchant account in real-time to help you battle chargebacks and win back more revenue.
Our automated, intelligent chargeback representment and CRM integration allows us to do the dirty work so you can focus on growing your business.
While factors such as poor business or personal credit, excessive chargebacks, and irregular or large transaction amounts can make it difficult to find a payment solution, most businesses are classified as high risk due to their industry or products and services they offer.
Traditional processors and banks believe these business types have a high rate of failure and generally shy away from approving them for merchant accounts. At SMB, we take on the risk that other processors won’t.
PAYMENT GATEWAY SOLUTIONS
Maintaining a seamless checkout experience for your customers is not only important for business, but also for your security. Our high risk payment gateway options provide 175+ Online Shopping Cart Integrations for pain-free connectivity with most online shopping cart providers.
