We are a leader in Ontario high risk payment processing and can help you get set up with the merchant account you need to pursue the best business opportunities and optimize revenue streams.

Don’t get caught in the “bait-and-switch” tactics of other merchant services providers, many of which take a substantial cut of your profits. Both traditional and non-specialized Ontario high risk payment processing providers will make businesses jump through hoops. They may penalize you for high volume, require you to hold a reserve (so they can hedge against your future returns), or outright terminate your merchant account.

These are all terrible obstacles to a growing, thriving business. Your goal should be to increase volume as much as possible, not to limit it. MerchACT caters to merchants who have had problems in the past with:

Volume Caps

Why should you pay more money when your business does more volume? The truth is, many merchant accounts are unable to support the increase in monthly volume so they compensate by charging fines or fees or simply shut the account down. If your Ontario business is set up for growth, this can be a death sentence. Don’t put your sales, goodwill and future business opportunities at risk.

Chargebacks

The other problem merchants face when it comes to Ontario high risk payment processing is the chargeback threat. Certain industries are more prone to chargebacks than others. Chargebacks occur when a forced refund is facilitated by the cardholder’s issuing bank, either due to “friendly” fraud or true fraud. Chargebacks happen for a number of reasons, which span from customer services issues to poor fraud controls. MerchACT specializes in helping Ontario high risk merchants understand the root of their chargeback problem and find a viable solution to keep chargebacks in check.

Lack of Guidance

We specialize in providing high risk merchants with the guidance they need to optimize their transaction lifecycle. We help merchants streamline customer service processes, implement the right suite of fraud tools, and avoid costly chargeback fines and penalties. We also ensure our merchants are set up with PCI- compliant gateways and have the proper risk mitigation controls in place. Other merchant services providers may leave you to your own devices, but MerchACT acts as your partner to arrive at the best solution for your business.
