Debt Consolidation Merchant Accounts
Debt Consolidation Merchant Accounts
Every year, consumer debt rises into the trillions. People pay off one credit card using another and find themselves in so deep that filing bankruptcy feels like their only option. As a debt consolidation merchant, you help give debt-ridden consumers their lives back. Instead of paying several loans and credit card bills, your customers can combine all of their debt into one smaller, more manageable monthly payment. With debt consolidation merchant accounts, you can offer your customers the option to make payments online, through the mail, or over the telephone.
Why do banks consider debt consolidation merchants high risk?
The most common answer is this: When a customer isn't present to sign for his or her purchase--whether it is by credit card, debit card, or check--that automatically puts the business at a higher risk of fraud. However, there are several other factors that come into play when determining if a business is high risk:
- People who require debt consolidation services struggled to pay their bills, and banks worry they may struggle to pay you too.
- If you're a start-up company, you may have little or no payment processing history.
- Your business may have grown from small to medium or high volume.
- You may process large ticket transactions.
