We need a high risk merchant account. What are your recommendations?

My company has been having a difficult time securing a merchant account because we are considered a ‘high risk’ business (we sell discount vacation packages online). Where can I turn to find a merchant account that will support us? Is there a specific company that specializes in high risk businesses? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Stephen!
The company I work with is in the same "high-risk business" situation as you; we are a collection agency and finance company to your exact industry and many others. May I suggest you explore Net Deposit and/or PowerPay.com.
Also, have you considered outsourcing your payment processing via account servicing and collections? This would provide access to an existing merchant account through a 3rd party who has already been approved.

Do you have a SamsClub or Coscto account? You might check there as they both offer merchant accounts.

This answer may be self-serving. I have worked with many of the card processors over several decades. I know of only one that is willing to accept high-risk transactions. I recently was able to get a riskier business than yours boarded with them. Oddly enough, the costs to you are not appreciably higher than if you were low-risk.

If you are having trouble finding a high risk payment processor, you may seek council in a consultant to place your account for you.

Watch out for high sign up fees and costs when seeking a high risk merchant account. Most of the companies charging these high fees to sign up are just attempting to place you with any merchant just to collect these fees. Check out: http://www.merchantaccountmentors.com/high-risk-merchant-account/

I'm baaaack...
One of the companies I represent specializes in high-risk merchant accounts - and does not charge exorbitant prices. Call me at 925-979-5673 (PST) or email to tommark8@gmail.com so we can tell you what we'll need to get you on board.
despair not, as you can see - there are several solutions in your answer box, although I like to believe that mine will be the least expensive.

I represent several credit card processors. At least one of them specializes in high-risk accounts.
You can contact me at tommark8@gmail.com Please put "high-risk account" in the subject line.
Or at (925) 979-5673 (West Coast)

Hello Stephen,

We can't help you with a merchant account...........however we are a high-risk processor in the electronic check/Check 21 arena........One of the chief advantages is that it is much harder to charge-back the transaction versus a credit card transaction. It's another form of payment that you can give your clients.
