Multi Currency and High Risk Merchant Accounts

When domestic banks restrict processing Visa-MasterCard transactions for your non-traditional merchant category or product, we offer processing through offshore payment solutions. Please call us for an analysis and review of your specific needs.

 

Below is a listing of some merchant categories and some recommended "best practices"

 


 

  • Club Memberships: This service is often provided as 30 day free-trial as a bonus for buying another unrelated product. After the trial period, the consumer's credit card is then billed for a regular membership.  High level of disputes may arise from inadequate billing notification and from annual vs. monthly billings.

    • RECOMMENDATION: Merchants in this category are required to maintain special cash reserves.  We also recommend i) monthly vs. annual billings and ii) advance notification of billing.

     

  • Subscription / Adult Based Web Memberships:

    • RECOMMENDATION:  We can service subscription or adult based membership sites that have a) processing history b) anti-fraud measures and c) age verification measures, where applicable.  Call us for a review of your needs and discussion of US or international processing options.

     

  • Outbound Telemarketing: Historically, merchants engaged in this method of sales experience a higher level of consumer disputes, even when the the buyer acknowledges the sales transaction is being recorded.

    • RECOMMENDATION: Merchants in this category are required to maintain special cash reserves.  We also recommend i) obtaining a written confirmation of product delivery or ii) remote access to recordings of individual sales transactions.
