We provide secure card detail storage and automatic recurring payments, including a user portal so your customers can manage their subscriptions. Additionally, our clear documentation assistance will minimize conflicts and chargebacks, boosting your reputation.
Credit Repair Merchant Accounts: Everything You Need to Know
A merchant account is a specialized tool that enables credit repair companies to accept multiple payment options, including credit cards and contactless payments. Without this account, companies are limited in the payment options they can provide, which can frustrate clients.
However, accessing this vital payment tool can be difficult for certain industries, as traditional banks and processors consider them high-risk. Adaptiv is a high-risk merchant account provider, ensuring that credit repair firms can support their clients through seamless processing.
Why Credit Repair Businesses are Considered High-Risk
Regulatory restrictions, high-volume transaction patterns, and high chargeback ratios make banks and credit card processors unwilling to serve this industry. Some of these factors include:
- Regulatory Scrutiny: Credit repair businesses operate under strict regulations, including the Credit Repair Organizations Act (CROA), creating compliance risks that concern payment processors.
- Subscription-Based Model: Many credit repair services bill on a recurring basis with services delivered over time, creating a longer window for potential chargebacks.
- Higher Chargeback Rates: The industry experiences higher chargeback rates due to customer expectations, service satisfaction issues, and the subjective nature of credit improvement results.
- Industry Reputation Challenges: Due to some bad actors in the past, the entire industry faces additional scrutiny from financial institutions and payment processors.
- Future Service Delivery: Credit repair involves promising future results, which increases the risk of disputes if customer expectations aren't met.
