WHY MANY CREDIT CARD PROCESSOR DON'T WORK WITH
HIGH-RISK MERCHANTS
Online dating businesses often find it difficult to obtain merchant accounts. That's because the online dating industry is considered high-risk by traditional banks and other financial institutions. This makes all of the businesses in the industry high-risk as well.
The reason a company is considered high-risk by payment processors is pretty simple: these processors see additional risk when working with this type of company. There are many reasons why online businesses and industries become labeled high-risk. These reasons include industry regulations, a high chargeback ratio because the company is subscription-based or another reason, high susceptibility to fraud or illegal activity, high sales volume, or a large number of total returns. Other factors can also include a company's lack of credit history or if the business owner has a bad credit score.
WHY IS THE ONLINE DATING INDUSTRY CONSIDERED HIGH-RISK
BY MERCHANT ACCOUNT PROVIDERS?
Merchants in the online dating industry are considered high-risk because they often see:
- High Chargeback Ratio: The most common reason online dating websites are considered high-risk is because they often have a high chargeback ratio because of user disputes and refunds because of infidelity.
- Higher Risk of Fraud and Transaction Laundering: Online dating sites have a high risk of transaction laundering. They are occasionally used as fronts for other industries, such as escort services.
- High Risk of Customer Complaints: Due to what they sell, online dating merchants often deal with a high volume of customer complaints that make payment processors wary.
- Age-Restrictions: Because the dating service industry is age-restricted, this also increases the risk.
Traditional credit card processing companies are hesitant to take on the risk that comes with high fraud and transaction laundering, customer complaints, and high chargeback ratios.
