High-Risk Merchant Accounts

Have you been turned down by other companies? Been given horrendous terms elsewhere or find that banks just don't want to know? Maybe it's as simple as assuming the worst!

Well here at Web Merchant we we consider ALL businesses (except for those that are on the prohibited business list) and financial circumstances in all European countries and can help many high-risk business such as adult, betting, tipping, jewellery, etc.

Please note that special terms may be applied to high-risk accounts such as rolling reserves, longer settlement periods and an annual fee. However until an application is made we are unable to tell you what terms, if any, are included.

Please also be aware that high-risk and adult accounts can take longer to set-up than standard accounts due to the nature of the business and the banks that we use to acquire the merchant ID (MID) number. Therefore supplying the relevant information in the correct format from day 1 will speed up the process tremendously.

Now the bad news...

Below is a list of businesses we unfortunately can't help!

For a complete list of prohibited businesses please refer to the account you are interested in - or click here


Providing annual membership or subscription services?

Unfortunately the banks that we use for our merchant accounts, as well as Visa and MasterCard, are refusing these types of businesses. The issue is with it being annual payments (what happens if a customer pays for a years membership but the business goes under after 6 months?) and not so much the amount of the transaction. The problem worsens if 100% of the business is based on annual memberships or subscriptions.

We will allow annual memberships, paid annually, where this makes up a small percentage of the business e.g. 20% otherwise we can only allow annual memberships that are debited either monthly or quarterly from the customers credit or debit card.
