SUPPORTING HIGH-RISK MERCHANTS
Payment Solutions for Your Small Business
Running a small business comes with big responsibilities—and sometimes, big financial roadblocks. Many small businesses struggle to secure reliable credit card processing, especially in high-risk industries. Traditional processors may reject applications due to limited revenue history, higher chargeback potential, or simply because the business is still growing.
That’s where we come in. High Risk Pay provides high-risk merchant account services to small businesses of all types, even those that have been denied by other providers. We make it easier for small businesses to accept payments and keep their operations moving forward.

Small Business Frequently Asked Questions
What is a merchant account, and why does my small business need one?
A merchant account is a special type of bank account that allows your small business to accept credit cards, debit cards, and other electronic payments from customers. When a customer makes a purchase, the funds are first routed through your merchant account before being deposited into your business bank account. Merchant accounts give your customers more ways to pay, which can help increase sales, compete with larger businesses, and build your credibility.
What are the different types of merchant accounts suitable for small businesses?
Small businesses can choose from several types of merchant accounts depending on how they operate. Common options include:
- Retail merchant accounts for brick-and-mortar stores with card readers
- eCommerce merchant accounts for online businesses using payment gateways
- Mobile merchant accounts for businesses that accept payments on the go
- High-risk merchant accounts for businesses in industries with higher chargeback rates or regulatory scrutiny
High Risk Pay helps you choose the right setup for your business type and risk profile.
What are the requirements to get a merchant account for small businesses?
The requirements for a small business merchant account can vary depending on your industry. However, you should be prepared to provide High Risk Pay with a valid business license or registration, a U.S. bank account, basic information about your products, services, and processing history, and your personal and business credit history.
What types of payment methods can I accept?
With a High Risk Pay merchant account, you can accept all major credit and debit cards, including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover. You can also accept ACH payments, mobile wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay, and recurring payments. Whether you sell in person, online, or over the phone, we make it easy for your customers to pay their way.
