What makes a business high risk?+

How do I apply for a high-risk merchant account?+
Start with the online application or contact our team. We typically review your business model, website, ownership, processing history, monthly volume, average ticket, fulfillment, and chargeback profile.
What documents are usually required?+
Requirements vary, but commonly include identification, business formation documents, a voided check or bank letter, recent processing statements, website and policy review, and supporting licenses or fulfillment information.
