How to get the best merchant account
If you need high risk merchant services, then getting the best account depends upon finding the right providers.
And whether you are getting set up for the first time -- or your merchant account has been recently shut down -- that means choosing a high risk merchant account provider able to work with a business like yours.
Why?
Because the simple fact is that MOST processing banks simply do not want to work with high risk businesses.
So how can you know if you've found the right provider?
It's about information. The key is to ask some important questions, and then comparing the answers you get after...
Finding High Risk Merchant Account Providers
The first point is to talk with someone who can actually help you.
And it's possible that you may have to speak to a number of providers before finding the right one.
Why?
Because getting a merchant account for your situation depends on underwriting requirements -- and the particular bank relationships that merchant account providers have.
As we discussed earlier, since the majority of merchant account providers simply do not want to deal with you, you need to find an expert who can find a processing bank for your account.
Now, there are a lot of variables when it comes to high risk merchant accounts.
That's why you will need to ask some questions to make sure that you are working with the best possible provider for your business.
To help you get started, here are some common questions you might want to ask:
- Do you work with businesses in my industry?
- Are there any up front costs or fees?
- What paperwork do you need?
- What are the reserve requirements?
- How long are the hold-back periods?
- How long can it take to get an approval for my account?
Additionally, it's OK to ask for references, testimonials or case studies.
Now, it may take some time and effort on your part to get your account opened. That's normal.
And no doubt you can't wait weeks or months looking for the right company.
But the simple answer is that you really CAN get a new merchant account, even if your last account was recently shut down.

Hello!!!
This is Mr. Hardik Parmar, the Director of Innovations Infocom Pvt. Ltd located in Gujarat State, India.
we are into the business of call center and typically debt collection since last 3 years. Our 100% target market is
only USA. We do debt collection over phone and we need a 100% MOTO virtual terminal with a high risk merchant account
in order to process payments of debit/credit cards of USA customers.
WE DON'T NEED A THIRD PARTY MERCHANT ACCOUNT, WE NEED A DIRECT MERCHANT ACCOUNT WITH AN OFFSHORE BANK.
We can provide you the processing statements of last three months.And can give you the volume of 50k a month.
We also are in a need of Check 21 set up so that we can start debiting money from the customers aba or checking account.
We would also appreciate if you can set us up with a account in Western Union and/or Moneygram so that our
customers in USA can go to physical location of Western Union and/or moneygram and can make a cash payment to us.
Please call us and help us.
Hello Mr. Parmar,
I will send along your comment to a few providers I know who may be able to help. Debt collection can be tricky, as only a few providers can help you with this. You did not provide a phone # or skype ID for anyone to call, so it will be difficult for anyone to contact you. I will do my best to find you through Google and hopefully someone will contact you soon.
All best...

Another often overlooked thing to watch out for is the holdback. Often times processors will charge a very high % for the holdback, and not release it for 6 months!
