If you deal in wine sales, you need to know that it’s one of the businesses currently classified as high-risk by most conventional financial institutions. It comes as a surprise, but try to open a merchant’s account at your local bank today and it’s quite likely that you’ll be turned away.
There are several reasons why online wine sales might be considered “high risk.” First, in the recent past, the wine industry has been characterized by multiple chargebacks. Of course, not all the chargebacks were legitimate but the fact that the industry is attracting such a big number of chargebacks alone is a big turnoff for financial institutions.
The wine industry could also be considered “high-risk” because of the multiple legislations currently regulating the sector and the fact that alongside the drug and adult industries, it’s one of the most monitored sectors in the United States. For instance, the government monitors sale of alcoholic products to minors at every level, right to the top. If the merchant is found selling wine to a minor, the financial institution that provides that merchant with payment processing services might also be implicated. Most institutions are keen not to get involved in such issues.
