Offshore Credit Card Processing

If you have a business, you should ensure that your customers are able to pay for your services/goods in a quick, convenient, and secure manner. A range of payment options that you have on your website is one of the factors that your potential customers pay their attention to. Thus, if there is just PayPal, your business will not look good. That means that setting up a merchant account allows accessing credit/debit card processing services. However, there is a range of obstacles that you might meet on your way. We will explain how you can avoid them.

Offshore payment processing services for high-risk businesses

There is a long list of industries that domestic banks and financial institutions consider to be high risk. This means that they do not really want to open merchant accounts for such businesses. Moreover, they can still do it at an extremely high price.

Some of the industries labeled “high-risk” are the following:

• Dating;
• Tobacco;
• Gambling;
• Travel;
• Forex,
• Legal consulting;
• Nutraceuticals and many others.

So, how can these businesses accept credit/debit card payments? They just need to opt for an offshore payment processing service.
