California Unique business models

In the credit card processing industry, many industries and niches are considered higher risk than other businesses. As a result, traditional banks and merchant services providers are hesitant to do business with these companies, and dismiss them as a liability. High risk businesses that make it through the gauntlet and do get placed find they are paying higher fees or being required to have a reserve. Many turn to merchant services providers who claim to be “high risk friendly”, but who also charge startling fees and who don’t provide any guidance on fraud and risk management. When every scenario seems to be a lose-lose for high risk merchants, MerchACT steps up to the plate as the industry-leading choice.

We are specialized in California high risk payment processing, and will not employ some of the below-the-belt tactics that other providers are known for. We don’t penalize our merchants for high volume, we don’t require reserve holds and we won’t leave you with no recourse if chargebacks become a problem.

Our focus is on helping you best manage the payments operations so you can be a growing, thriving business. We excel at helping high volume merchants to manage transactions properly and maintain a stable merchant account. We work with high risk merchants to help alleviate the chargeback burden and lower chargeback ratios. We also charge some of the lowest fees in the industry, ensuring that your payments are professionally handled without breaking the bank.
