High Risk Merchants are businesses that have a high credit rate or a business that has a high turnover but also, an increased risk of fraud and chargebacks. Chargebacks are the Achilles heel of all merchants both retailers and online shopping cart systems.
Merchants who run high risk businesses have a hard time finding credit card processing options. Very few online merchant account providers are willing to take the risk to support the merchants and provide them with a high risk merchant account, in case they do, the charges applied are so high that usually it is not feasible. Which Merchants need a High Risk Merchant Account?
We Provide a High Risk credit card payment gateway allowing you to accept Visa / Master credit cards against very competitive rates. We processes for both low-risk and high-risk merchant accounts. We set your rates as determined by your type of business. "Low risk" businesses such as web hosting qualify for a lower rate, whereas a "High risk" business such as mail order wholesale pharmacy merchant account have higher rates. A business is generally classified as high risk when both its chargeback potential and the likelihood that it will shut its doors and disappear over-night are considered high based on the history of that type of business.
Many businesses today accept payments for their products and services over the phone, by mail or by fax.
The preferred method of payment for these types of sales is through debit card and credit card acceptance. There are several ways to process these types of card not present transactions or MOTO (Mail Order Telephone Order) transactions.
The first option, is to key enter in your customer’s credit and debit card transactions into a credit card terminal. If you already own a credit card terminal, our tech department can reprogram it over the phone for free. We work with high risk consulting services, so If you do not own a terminal you will need to purchase one. Please view our list of credit card terminals to see which terminal best suits your needs.
The second option, is to key enter in your customer’s payments into the Virtual Terminal which allows a merchant to authorize, process and manage credit cards, debit cards, and check orders from any computer connected to the Internet. There is no software to install. Once logged in you’ll be taken to a secure order page encrypted in 128-bit Secure Socket Layer technology where you will enter in the necessary information to process the transaction.
Do you currently own a credit card terminal or POS system? We can reprogram your equipment for you for free. After your account is approved our tech department will reprogram your credit card terminal or POS system over the phone at no cost.

CHEAPEST RATE MERCHANT ACCOUNTS
All of our customers agree that Payment Processing is the best option for new, or existing, online, offline merchants wanting to accept credit cards.
Our unbelievably low merchant
account rates are REAL. They are not introductory or teaser rates. They are all interchange plus pricing and in many cases high risk companies such as student loan consolidation services can still qualify for no annual fee and no early termination fees.
Unlike our competitors, we will not raise these rates a month from now -
or a year from now. And we give you more than just our word; we will
guarantee our rates to you in writing! The only time they may change is
if Visa/MasterCard changes their interchange rates.
