CREDIT REPAIR MERCHANT ACCOUNTS INFORMATION

If you have a credit repair business, you should be aware that credit repair is considered to be a high risk endeavor.

This is because credit repair companies often do business “in the future,” meaning that they provide future dates for services to be rendered.

Credit repair businesses help people who have had problems with their credit, who can’t make payments, or who have late payments on their credit records. If you’ve experienced these issues, you might have decided you want to help business owners like yourself repair their credit.

In that case, you’ll need a merchant account.

Merchant accounts enable business owners to take credit cards for payment. And you’ll definitely want to since credit repair operations don’t deal in cash.

But … since your credit repair operation is in the “high risk” category, you might have trouble getting a merchant account to use for that purpose.

That’s where Easy Pay Direct comes in!  We specialize in setting up merchant accounts for high risk business owners.

Easy Pay Direct will work with its network of banks to make sure you get the right kind of merchant account.  We’ll also integrate it with our online payment gateway, in the event you’ll be using your merchant account for card-not-present (CNP purchases, or for any kind of eCommerce).

And if you want your business to maintain a physical presence, we can set you up with high-quality credit card terminals, or even advanced point-of-sale systems.

Best of all, since Easy Pay Direct has the best approval rate in the industry, your high-risk business is sure to get approved for a merchant account!

 

CREDIT REPAIR MERCHANT ACCOUNTS

A merchant account is a specific type of bank account that allows merchants to accept payments. Typically, a merchant account for credit repair is used for credit card processing and eCheck  processing but can be used for a variety of payment processing needs. To get a merchant account, one must submit an application with a merchant account provider.

These merchant account providers work with acquiring banks, such as Chase and Wells Fargo, to provide merchant accounts to businesses looking to process credit card payments.

There are multiple types of merchant accounts depending on how the bank categorizes the industry of the merchant. If the merchant account is used for card not present (CNP)> or ecommerce transactions then it must be integrated with an online payment gateway. Otherwise, a physical terminal is required to capture payment information.

WHO EASY PAY DIRECT WORKS WITH

Easy Pay Direct works with all kinds of merchants, including, what the banks call, “high risk” merchants. These merchants happen to be in an industry that the banks label as high risk which means that they have a higher likelihood of chargebacks, disputes and fraud. The most common reason for this is card not present transactions which presents a higher risk of fraud. These merchants can have a particularly hard time finding a high risk merchant account because a lot of payment processors refuse to participate in high risk processing. Even if these merchants find a “high risk payment processor” they can still frequently deal with holds or freezes on their money and shut down merchant accounts. This is where Easy Pay Direct saves the day by finding them a high risk merchant account for credit repair provider that wants to work with their business and providing them with all the resources to meet their high risk credit card processing needs.

 

WHAT EASY PAY DIRECT PROVIDES: MERCHANT ACCOUNTS

Easy Pay Direct provides merchant accounts specifically tailored to a merchant’s industry. We do this by leveraging our banking relationships to apply for merchant accounts on your behalf. However, we do not just apply for any merchant account, we use providers who want to work with your business model and underwrite their merchants. This is important because it lays out all the cards on the table and ensures that a provider gets to know who you are and your business model before working with you. That way they know what to expect moving forward. This strategy guarantees that we find a merchant account provider that wants to work with you, making the likelihood of holds, freezes and shut downs, much less and providing a stable credit card processing.

Another benefit to this is you get to avoid the nightmare that applying for merchant accounts can be. Not only do most merchant account providers do very little underwriting, but it can take many applications before you find a merchant account that is good for you. Each application that you send out hurts your chances of getting approved for the next because multiple applications make you look desperate to a provider which they perceive as high risk.

 

AFTER YOUR MERCHANT ACCOUNT IS SET UP

After we get you set up with your first merchant account, we recommend getting you an additional merchant account if you have over $250,000 in sales volume a year. This is to ensure stable payment processing. Even though Easy Pay Direct takes all the precautions to prevent you from experiencing a hold, freeze or shutdown, we can never know how banks might act in the future. If they hire someone new or implement a new algorithm, your account could have action taken against it. In the event of this, if you have a second merchant account that is already up, running and processing payments, you can pivot your revenue stream to this account and avoid holds, freezes, and shut downs all together.

Now all of this may seem complicated and a lot of work, and it would be if you were doing this on your own. However, if you are working with Easy Pay Direct, we manage all of this for you making your role in all of this very easy. We even assign you your very own Certified Payment Specialist (CPS), who will monitor your merchant accounts for you, giving you one point of contact for all of your merchant processing needs.

Why is my business considered high risk?
M
L

“High Risk” is a banking industry term. It’s important to note that there are many business models that are seemingly low risk, but fall into the high risk category.

There is nothing wrong with being considered high risk and there are many factors that contribute to risk.

When a consumer buys an item with a credit card, they are given 6 months from the date of receiving the item to dispute the charge.

If your business is no longer operating, who do you think has to refund that money? The processor. This is where risk is created.

Certain businesses, marketing models, and industries have a higher rate of chargebacks, where they get labeled as high risk.

Even if your business is perfect, has never had a chargeback, and operates 100% “by the books”, you could be labeled high risk if you’re business or industry falls into a high risk category.

There are 3 main reasons a business can be considered high risk.

  1. The business has a greater chance of chargebacks occurring
  2. The business model may be new or legally regulated
  3. The business accepts a high number of card not present transactions (over the phone, email, eCommerce)

How long does it take to get approved for a merchant account?
