High Risk Credit Card Processing
How do you know if your business has been categorized as needing high risk credit card processing? Well, the primary reason is other merchant accounts aren’t willing to take on the risk associated with your business. The acquiring bank or its representatives can close your account and hold funds, without notice, based on negative risk factors involved with your product or brand. Moreover, if you experience high levels of chargebacks or if your payment processor has dropped your account, you may need a high risk merchant account to start accepting credit card payments online.

Whether your ecommerce store is selling CBD oil, Adult Items, or Credit Repair services, your merchant account should custom fit your business’s needs.

Instant Approval
Certain businesses and industries can get instant approval on their high risk merchant account. In most cases however, banks will want to review your processing history and sales volume on a case-by-case basis. Each business is different and has their unique needs. If you don’t qualify for instant approval, PayKings will work to get your application processed fast. The usual time between start of the application and final approval is five to ten business days. These times are consistent with most high risk merchant accounts.

High Chargeback Merchant Account
Many businesses are categorized as high risk due to the number of chargebacks they have. High chargebacks occur when there is an inconsistency in your product or supply chain, or sometimes when customers try to take advantage of your service. In the case of friendly fraud, customers may file a chargeback after they received a product in order to keep both the item and payment. There are many reasons chargebacks occur; at Paykings, we work with our partners to reduce chargebacks and get you approved for a merchant account that is custom fit for your business needs.
