Tech support merchant accounts are very difficult to open. In fact, when merchant account providers hear the words “tech support” they immediately think about two words “high risk.” In general, tech support accounts are characterized by high rates of fraud. In the event of fraud, the merchant account provider risks losing money. Since no one likes losing money, they would rather just stay away.
A common tech account risk is tech support scams. It isn’t uncommon for an individual or a group of fraudsters to set up an account providing bogus services in a bid to gain access to the caller’s private information. For instance, someone could claim to provide technical support for a brand of smartphones while in reality that person doesn’t offer such services. When customers browse the internet, they can find their contacts from forums and made-up “company” websites. Once a customer makes a call to the fake tech support account, their personal information can be recorded and from that point forward, the fraudsters can do whatever they like with such information. Most merchant banks are not willing to be involved in such activities. To stay on the safe side, they will simply reject your application.
While your tech support business might be 100% legitimate (and very many of them are), the fact that the industry is already marred with these kinds of frauds means that you may not be readily accepted at a merchant bank. Where you’re accepted, the rates and fees might be exuberant and you will have to prove to the bank beyond reasonable doubt that you can be trusted. Intimidating, right?
