As businesses invest in enhancing their online presence, the significance of having an aesthetically pleasing and highly functional website continues to grow. Research indicates that many consider website design a critical determinant of a brand’s credibility. Beyond influencing user behavior, a subpar user experience can lead to increased cart abandonment. Recognizing the value of a skilled website development company, there is a burgeoning demand for a diverse range of design styles and price points to help elevate the overall quality of websites in the industry.

Banks and Credit Card Processors Often Categorize Web Designs Services as High-Risk Due to Various Factors Contributing to Financial and Reputational Risks. These Factors Include:

  1. Selling intangible services: Tracking the sale of services is more challenging than tracking the sale of physical products, which can lead to confusion and potential payment mix-ups.
  2. High ticket sales: As quality web design services are not inexpensive, high-value transactions carry a greater risk of merchant services fraud and chargeback disputes.
  3. Chargebacks and disputes: Online businesses, mainly those selling services, face a higher risk of chargebacks and disputes, which can result in account closure and loss of the website merchant account.

To address these risks, web design companies must seek a high-risk payment processor capable of mitigating these issues. This will ensure the business can maintain its operations and avoid potential account closures.

The Benefit of A High Risk Merchant Account

Securing a high-risk website merchant account tailored to a web design company’s unique requirements is essential. Key features such as fraud and chargeback mitigation, auto-invoicing, and a virtual terminal are crucial for maintaining secure transactions for the company and its customers. By prioritizing these features, web design companies can ensure a seamless and secure payment processing experience.

Please note, this is NOT a complete list; Moneybox Merchant Services Inc. serves hundreds of additional mid and low risk industries, too. We do not have a full list of industries we can work with, instead we keep a list of business that we currently can not support. See our FAQ page for more info. If the opportunity is right we will of course try to be considerate.

Sorry, we are unable to provide merchant services for foreign or offshore businesses, or any company that is headquartered, or operates, outside of the USA. We are also unable to provide merchant services for any business whose owner does not have a valid SSN and US issued identification (driver’s license, US passport, etc). That said we are working to fix this issue and should have a solution early 2025.

Yes, your startup or new business can be approved by Moneybox Merchant Services for a merchant account. We love startups! While newer businesses without processing history sometimes encounter hurdles when it comes to approval, Moneybox has helped many brand new businesses get their start in payment processing.

A high-risk merchant account is designed for businesses deemed as “high-risk.” These types of businesses have a greater likelihood of chargebacks, fraud, or other financial risk factors. High-risk businesses require such accounts to be able to accept credit and debit card payments.

Various industries are considered high-risk because of their inherent attributes. Some examples include CBD (Cannabidiol) products, e-cigarettes, vape products, stun guns, credit repair services, multi-level marketing, adult products/services, pawnshops, dietary supplements, SEO services, and tech support.

No central authority determines a business’s high-risk categorization. Every payment processor or bank sets its own standards, often based on internal risk management criteria. Providers assess businesses based on several detailed information bits to ascertain risk levels.

Factors contributing to a high-risk business include being a new business, having poor credit records or low credit scores, operating in controversial or highly regulated industries, relying heavily on international sales, and previous placements on the MATCH list by payment processors.

High-risk merchant accounts differ from regular accounts in several ways such as having a longer application process, higher payment processing fees, cash reserve requirements, volume caps in credit card processing, higher chargeback fees, and additional requirements based on the business type.

A high-risk business should ensure it maintains healthy cash levels, tries to reduce chargebacks, discloses all relevant information during the application process, keeps its financial documents ready, and adheres to the guidelines set by its payment processor.

Moneybox Merchant Services Inc. may not cater to all high-risk businesses (e.g. CBD merchants). It offers an upfront underwriting process that identifies risk factors early, saving the merchant time and potential costs. However, if Moneybox cannot service a particular business, they may recommend a processor better suited to your needs.
