Merchant Account Rates & Fees

Rates and fees for high-risk merchant accounts are typically higher than those of traditional low-risk accounts. Still, a high-risk merchant account offers companies a secure and stable processing solution. The higher rates and fees offset the additional costs incurred by the high-risk payment processor.

Unlike traditional low-risk merchant accounts, where many processors offer a simple, one-size-fits-all pricing structure, high-risk merchant accounts are typically priced on a per-case basis.

The rates and fees a high-risk merchant pays are dependent on four main factors:

• Your business’ industry
• Your business’ individual risk level
• Your business’ processing volume and history
• The high-risk payment processor

The first step is choosing a processor who can offer your company competitive rates and fees, regardless of industry, risk level, or past processing history.
