Answer by shawnda
Hi sean!

A high volume merchant account is an account that allows you to have unlimited volume processing in a month. This applies to volume transactions not lower than $ 10,000. It is considered high risk mainly because of the fast and above than normal amounts coming in. Money-laundering issues come in. But, always, give the benefit of the doubt.

Question by Drew H: Do i need to apply for a high risk merchant account offshore when selling my online games (consoles, titles)?

Best answer:

Answer by Phoenix
You don’t need to if you don’t intend to increase the monthly volume of your sales. Many gaming vendors feel the need to apply for a high risk merchant account because they transact high volume sales as their businesses grow. Also, due to the nature of the business, they find it difficult to get accepted in the local banks’ merchant services. If you find that an offshore provider works to your advantage then you should apply for one.

Question by Phoenix: What’s the average rate of acceptance for high risk merchant account applicants put under the TMF?

Best answer:

Answer by Merchant Helper
I’ll be upfront with you, its not good. < 1%. Processors take TMF's very serously and it is hard to place merchants that have been TMF'd. Its much easier to resolve the TMF, or in some cases reincorporate.

Looking for a high risk payment processor (merchant account)?

Question by wicked_redhead3: Looking for a high risk payment processor (merchant account)?
I’m going to try and ask this question one last time. I am looking for a payment processor for a adult dating site. I have searched for weeks for one in the US and so far none that accept this type of business so I am now looking for payment processing companies in other countries. Please do not respond is you are doing a quick search and post a few names that show up. I have already done that. I am wanting to hear from people that use a company and can suggest a company that they use or have used with having no problems with them.

Best answer:

Answer by Robert
The only one that I know of is charge.com I have been recently looking for a high risk merchant payment gateway as well (though not for adult related industry) and aside from some offshore places, they were the only one that would take me on. I ended up forming another company that has absolutly nothing to do with my business and getting a merchant account for that company. Since my original company owns 51% of the new company, it is legal for me to use it to pull my payments.

Hope this helps.

Is a wireless terminal for a high risk merchant account better than a manual imprinter?

Question by Ysabel K: Is a wireless terminal for a high risk merchant account better than a manual imprinter?

Best answer:

Answer by Marie C
Wireless terminals are more expensive than manual imprinters but are greatly useful to high risk merchants. They are efficient credit card terminals that let you know immediately whether a transaction is authorized or not. Manual imprinters are rather cheaper but work best with bulk orders.

can anyone recommend a merchant account company that will allow us to sell supplements online with a Money Back Guarantee?

We have applied and been denied by numerous companies already and need to get this done.

Best answer:

Answer by stymiee73
You need to use an offshore merchant account provider because the risk is too high for typical US based merchant account providers. A name I see repeatedly recommended for high risk products is CCBill.
