High Risk Merchants,as far as Merchant Acquiring Banks are concerned, typically include adult entertainment merchants, online pharmacy merchants, replica merchants, online gambling merchants, MLM (multi level marketing) merchants etc.
The Banks that underwrite risk merchant accounts do not generally disclose to businesses applying for their own merchant account why they view the company as high risk, and therefore either decline the merchant account application or impose such high restrictions on the merchant account that make it impossible for the company to accept.
Apart from the product or service being sold online, the country where the merchant’s company is registered is a concern to the Acquiring Bank, and as such deem the business as high risk – especially if the merchant has registered their company in an offshore haven or “tax haven”.
