Defining a High-Risk Merchant
Many high-risk merchants may not even be aware that their business is categorized as risky. Some attributes that flag a merchant as “high risk” to credit card processors are as follows:
- The business is unregistered, or improperly registered, with local regulatory agencies.
- Merchant agencies have blacklisted the business due to fraudulent dealings or bankruptcy.
- The merchant has an inconsistent credit history.
- The business has a high sale volume with a large number of transactions, which creates a situation that is more susceptible to fraud.
- Small businesses with insignificant sales volumes and fewer numbers of transactions can’t afford fraud screening software, leaving them vulnerable to attack.
- The business has a high “chargeback” rate, indicating customers who are dissatisfied with products or services.
