Securing a high-risk merchant account can be a challenge for businesses operating in industries classified as high-risk by payment processors. Whether you’re in e-commerce, travel, adult entertainment, or the CBD sector, the approval process often feels like a steep uphill climb. But while the path may be challenging, it’s far from impossible. By following a strategic approach, you can greatly improve your odds of approval for a high-risk merchant account.

 

Understand Why Your Business is High-Risk

The first step to improving your approval chances is understanding why your business falls into the high-risk category. Payment processors deem businesses high-risk based on several factors, such as high chargeback rates, frequent refunds, or industries prone to legal or financial issues. For example, subscription-based businesses often encounter high chargeback rates due to clients forgetting to cancel services.

 

Once you understand the risks associated with your business model, you’re better prepared to address these concerns upfront when applying for an account. Transparency and thorough preparation are key here.

 

Boost Your Credit History

Payment processors and banks assess your credit history as part of the approval process. Poor credit scores signal financial instability, making banks less likely to work with you. Both personal and business credit scores can weigh heavily on the final decision.
