Denied service from other credit card processors?

Credit card processors may deny you their service if they deem your firm to be a high-risk business. Such credit card processors may include PayPal, Stripe, First Data, and many others. If the card or customer is not present at the time of sale i.e. the transaction is purely virtual, the firm is said to be a high-risk business because the chances of a chargeback and default are higher.

However, financial advisories and consultancies are known to build long-lasting relations with their customers. Therefore, the chances of chargebacks are minimal. Still, credit card processors may deny or close your account.

If you are facing such an issue or are a high-risk firm, you don't need to worry. Our online merchant accounts will help you avoid these issues because we will provide you all these services. You don't have to spend your energy and time trying to look for a credit card processor. Moreover, you will not be constrained by a reserve requirement. However, our rates for conducting the transaction may vary depending on the risk involved. Factors like risk and history of bad credit will be analyzed when setting up a rate.

Merchant accounts for startups

As the corporate world expands, the demand for financial advisors has also spiked. This is because not everyone is capable of dealing with financial matters. Rather than investing a huge sum of money in developing the financial department within a company, many companies are outsourcing financial work to consultancies. The presence of a virtual bridge has led to an increase in the outsourcing of such jobs.

At such a time, it is not surprising that many startups are trying to gain their footing in the financial advisory and consultancy sector. If you are a newly established consultancy, the first step you should take is set up a merchant account. Why? Because it will ensure a smooth transaction process and help you establish a profitable firm.

There are some things you should consider when setting up your merchant account. You first need to decide whether your company has high risk or low risk attached to it. Then you need to look for merchant accounts which do not charge you any application cost. This is because a startup should save as much money as it can.

Our company doesn't require any application or setup fees and, therefore, is an ideal choice for newly established advisories and consultancies.

Domestic and offshore options

In many businesses, one may not be required to set up an offshore account. However, in the case of financial advisories and consultancies, the risk attached may be very high. The cost attached with the high risk prevents advisories from setting up domestic merchant accounts. By setting up an offshore account, such companies can enjoy relaxed terms and standards.

However, a firm should try to look for a domestic option because of the heightened security and lower rates attached to it. Offshore accounts, on the other hand, are usually charged a higher rate.

Conclusion

Currently, merchant accounts are a value-added service that can help financial advisories and consultancies in building relations with their customers. However, as the word becomes more and more digitalized, sooner or later, merchant accounts will become a necessity. By adopting this mode of payment before others, you will stand out.

Let us help you in satisfying your customers and dealing with the hassle of accepting transactions while you deliver quality service. Give our company a chance, and you will not be disappointed.
