We understand that there are certain businesses that banks and credit card processing companies consider “high risk.” This means that these businesses have a hard time getting merchant services and are unable to accept payments from their customers through credit cards, e-checks, and ACH.
At the Black Payment Network, we offer high risk Black businesses across many industries with merchant accounts. We support all kinds of Black businesses and place value on their services in order to develop the Black community. That is why, we offer high-risk merchant accounts that will not experience payout freezes or termination that can cost businesses millions of dollars.
Why Is Your Business Considered High Risk by Credit Card Processing Services?
High risk does not mean that there is anything wrong or shady about your business. It is simply an industry term given by banks and financial agencies to companies, even excellent ones, that share a few characteristics:
A greater chargeback risk: Any business that has a chargeback risk of more than 1% is automatically considered to be a high risk business.
Operating in a unique/unregulated industry: If the industry is very new or is still developing regulations, then banks consider this a risk, and will give you a high-risk tag.
Card-not-present operations: If your business accepts card-not-present or cardholder-not-present payment options, then the risk of fraud is greater, and will place you in a high risk category.
We work with a number of mid-risk and high-risk businesses and give them merchant accounts that other processors will not. Some Black businesses we work with include:
- Antiques
- Bad credit
- Cannabis support/ CBD oil
- Catering
- Credit repair
- Debt collection
- Firearms and ammunition
- Insurance/ warranty
- Nutraceuticals
- Fantasy sports
- Pawnbrokers
- Smoking products
