Specialized merchant accounts for high-risk industries. Extensive network of bank relationships enables approval for businesses typically declined by traditional processors. Fair pricing despite high-risk classification. Expert guidance through compliance and regulatory requirements.
Banks classify businesses as high-risk based on two primary factors: industry classification with elevated fraud potential and higher financial failure risk. If you've been declined by traditional processors or face elevated processing rates, START's extensive bank network can help.
Certain industries are automatically classified as high-risk due to elevated chargeback rates, fraud potential, or regulatory scrutiny. This includes nutraceuticals, supplements, adult products, travel, telemarketing, subscription services, and many others.
Even legitimate businesses in these industries face automatic declines from traditional banks, regardless of their actual risk profile or business history.
Banks also evaluate business characteristics like processing history, credit score, average ticket size, delivery timeframes, and business model. New businesses, high-ticket items, future delivery, or international sales increase perceived risk.
These factors often result in higher chargeback rates and processing complications that traditional processors aren't willing to accommodate.
