When is your business considered as high risk?
High Risk Merchants are product sellers or service providers with businesses that have a high turnover with large volumes of sales (high volume merchants) and tend to have an increased risk of fraud. There are many special business categories which are automatically marked as high-risk.
If a business is considered a high risk, it is never possible to obtain a standard eCommerce merchant account. Under such a condition the best course of action is to apply for a high risk merchant account with international service providers such as ccNetPay.

We understand that very few online merchant account providers are willing to take the risk to support some businesses, however our team of specialists, a network of acquiring banks and years of experience with an advanced in-house fraud prevention system allows us to accept almost any business.
