What Is a High-Risk Merchant Account?
A high-risk merchant is a seller that is potentially associated with a high level of fraud. There may be many factors for this, from the business niche to a high percentage of chargebacks. In addition, merchants from high-risk countries or countries subject to sanctions are also considered high-risk. Opening merchant accounts for such businesses has certain difficulties compared to other merchants. SegoPAY will allow you not to worry about opening a merchant account, no matter what niche you work in. We will ensure a fast, safe and secure high-risk merchant account opening to keep your business running.

How to Determine Whether My Business Is High-Risk?
High-risk businesses are not always about illegal niches. A business can be considered high-risk for a variety of reasons.
New company
For many financial institutions, the lack of extensive transaction history is already a reason to put such a company on the list of high-risk businesses.
Business niche
Above, we have listed the types of businesses that are traditionally high-risk. Their list is quite large, and not always any of these businesses will be actually considered high-risk. However, you will almost certainly face these challenges if you work in the travel, gambling, or adult industry. The reasons for this are the excessive chargebacks that are observed in these niches.
Too much monthly income
Your company may also be considered high-risk if you get $20,000 or more in monthly sales. Another reason for this is the frequent credit card transactions over $500 each.
Frequent refunds, fraud, and chargebacks
The more often you encounter chargebacks, payments from lost bank cards, cancellation of transactions, etc., the higher the risks of working with you for other companies.
Not enough transactions
In order to determine if a merchant account provider can partner with you, it must be able to calculate your chargeback ratio since chargebacks are one of the most common problems in ecommerce payment processing. If you don’t have enough transactions to calculate, you can automatically be considered a high-risk business.
Work in sanctioned countries
If your business operates in countries that are subject to sanctions, it may automatically become highly risky in the eyes of traditional financial institutions.
