HIGH-RISK MERCHANT ACCOUNTS
WE BUILD CUSTOM HIGH-RISK MERCHANT ACCOUNTS FOR YOU
HIGH-RISK PAYMENT PROCESSING
“Engaging in high-risk payment processing empowers your company to accept online payments, even within unique industries. Specialized and sustainable accounts provided by high-risk payment providers such as O3 Merchant Services ensure seamless transactional operations for your business.
While mainstream payment processors like Stripe, PayPal, and Square may decline services for restricted industries, your business might also be labeled high-risk due to factors such as its model, transactional history, or personal financial information.
Transitioning into the high-risk processing category can impede customers’ ability to purchase your products, potentially driving them towards competitors. It’s imperative to align with a seasoned company to mitigate such risks. We offer dependable high-risk merchant accounts tailored to support merchants across various industries and circumstances.”

WHAT DOES HIGH-RISK MERCHANT ACCOUNT MEAN?
“At O3 Merchant Services, we recognize that businesses of diverse natures should have the opportunity to process payments seamlessly through a high-risk merchant account, regardless of their industry. Various factors may lead banks and other payment processing entities to categorize a business as high-risk, encompassing the following considerations:”
Having Bad Personal Credit?
“Poor credit may impact your capacity to obtain a merchant account as banks are often hesitant to extend funds in such instances. Typically, financial institutions and service providers rely on FICO® credit scores to assess eligibility. If your score registers in the low 600s or lower, you may be considered a candidate for high-risk merchant solutions.”
High Fraud Chargeback Rates
“Every business faces the risk of losing its merchant account if chargebacks surpass a specified threshold. As your chargeback rate escalates, so does the perception of you being a “high-risk” entity. Additionally, instances of fraud can lead to account declination, underscoring the necessity for our meticulous underwriting process to authenticate your identity.”
High Refund Rates
“The volume of refunds processed by a business communicates significant information. If your business exceeds sales with refunds in a given month, the responsibility ultimately falls on the bank. Banks prioritize low refund rates to ascertain the integrity of your business, safeguarding themselves from potential liabilities.”
Subscription and Continuity Billing
“The connection between subscription and continuity billing and chargebacks is clear. With services available on annual, semi-annual, and monthly subscription models, customers may unknowingly commit to indefinite billing, which can escalate chargeback occurrences for your business.”
Offering Free Trials For Your Products and Services
“Providing a free trial is a widespread practice across various industries. Yet, the majority of these trials typically entail the requirement of a card number for billing at the trial’s conclusion. Should customers later deem the service unworthy, they may initiate a chargeback despite their initial agreement.”
