High Risk Transactions Management

How can high-risk merchants protect their payment stream?

Accepting payments online via major gateways and high street banks can be a challenge when your business is considered high-risk. How do you know if you are high-risk?  If your business is more susceptible to chargebacks, this tends to be seen in iGaming, Crypto, Forex, Travel, recurring subscription payments, and products with specific age restrictions. It is likely that you would fall into the high-risk category. A chargeback is when the funds of a successful transaction are reversed at the request of the card holder. 

If chargebacks are more likely, businesses become limited with who they are able to process payments. A higher rolling reserve will be necessary as acquirer and payment service providers will want to protect themselves. Businesses may also have to enter into a fee paying chargeback monitoring program, which keeps track of chargeback activity at the merchant level account. If your business suffers from increased chargebacks, you could be at risk of contract termination, meaning you are no longer able to accept any payments.
