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.
