The Facts and Myths of High Risk Credit Card Processing Services

If you operate a high-risk business, you have more than likely been told by a bank or “traditional” merchant account processor that your business is not a good fit for them. You are not alone. The majority of banks and processors will not deal with high-risk companies. Many times this is not a case about a money loan; it is a simple case of a merchant in need of a processor. While it may seem that your business is out of luck, there are high-risk merchant account providers who specialize in high-risk credit card processing.

The vast majority of businesses accept plastic card payments. While it seems like a no-brainer to possess a payment terminal, the reality is that it can be tough to obtain a high-risk card processing service. High-risk merchants are labeled as such because they have a higher occurrence of fraudulent activity, as compared to other merchants. These merchants include gambling and penny auction websites, adult dating websites, and credit repair business websites. While it may seem that every company will turn you down, fear not. eMerchantBroker.com, or EMB.
