Doing research and shopping around for a high risk merchant account provider can be frustrating. Extensive research is required to compare and contrast rates and make sure you are dealing with a legitimate merchant account provider and not with a scam merchant account provider. After a merchant has thoroughly researched his or her options and decided on a high risk merchant account provider, there is still the application process to complete.
In fact, the whole process of researching and applying for a merchant account may have some merchants wondering “Can’t I just use a payment intermediary service (such as PayPal) to handle credit card transactions?”
Technically, you probably could. However, being unable to process credit card transactions without a payment intermediary service will not give you the appearance of being a reputable merchant. In addition, payment intermediary services do not always offer the same degree of seller protection provided by an actual merchant account. PayPal, for example, has a list of exclusions under its seller protection terms that could potentially includes “intangible goods” which includes a variety of services that you may offer as a merchant.
To best protect yourself and your business, you are better off working with a merchant account provider that is willing to work with high risk or high volume merchants. While you may pay transaction and processing fees, you are also paying for a degree of customer service and seller protection that can’t be guaranteed by a payment intermediary service.

The Number-One Way to Stay Off the TMF
High risk merchants sometimes end up on the Terminated Merchant File (TMF) through no direct fault of their own. Landing on the TMF can cause your high risk or high volume business to be red-flagged by banks, merchant account providers, credit card companies, and more.
The number-one preventative measure is to work with reputable credit card processors and merchant account providers. By working with a legitimate high risk credit card processor or merchant account provider and having a thorough understanding of the terms of your merchant account, you will avoid things like sneaky unpaid fees, missed payments, and bad relationships.
Research your merchant account provider before signing on – make sure their terms and fees are clearly outlined and they provide a wealth of information to you (such as an informative website, blogs, articles, and easily contactable customer service).
By working with a legitimate merchant account provider and clearly outlining and understanding the terms of your relationship, you greatly reduce your chances of that relationship ending badly, which in turn reduces your chance of landing on the TMF.

The Solution for High Risk Merchants? Offshore Merchant Accounts
The rise of internet technology has made it possible for merchant account providers to become very competitive with the type of businesses they are willing to offer accounts to. Because many of these merchant accounts have low fees and low commissions, most domestic providers will not accept the application of a high risk merchant. Fortunately, there is a very viable option for these merchants who may otherwise be turned down for the merchant account they need in order to successfully run their business—an offshore merchant account.
Generally, it is easier for a high risk merchant to qualify for an offshore merchant account, because these providers have more flexible guidelines for applicants than those in the United States; furthermore, many of these account providers are located in countries that are recognized for having more relaxed banking systems than those in the U.S. But, are these offshore accounts the same quality as a U.S. merchant account? Do they offer the same services to their high risk merchant clients? Yes!
With a bit of research, a high risk merchant will be able to find an offshore merchant account that offers secure transaction processing, in virtual real-time. Many of these providers also feature regular, accurate feedback statistics for their clients and the ability to accept transactions 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The application process and setup are usually very fast, as well. Finally—and this is perhaps the most advantageous aspect of setting up an offshore merchant account—the tax rate is much lower than with domestic high risk merchant accounts. With all of these benefits, it is no wonder that many merchants are now turning to offshore banks and account providers for their services.
For additional information about both domestic and offshore merchant accounts for high risk merchants, contact the staff at High Risk Credit Card Processor. We are ready to connect you with high risk merchants from over 20 different processing companies, including U.S. Banks and Merchant Accounts, International Banks and Offshore Merchant Accounts, Third Party Payment and ACH Processors, Check and Debit Card Processors, as well as other types of high risk transaction processors. Regardless of whether you are looking for just one merchant account or need many different types, High Risk Credit Card Processor is ready to exceed your high risk business’ payment processing expectations.
