How is the level of risk determined by banks

Although the way how banks determine the level of risk for your business may vary, usually, they take into account the following factors:

• Your financial history;
• Country of your business registration;
• Country of residence of shareholders’ and directors and where they actually live;
• Processing history and experience;
• Knowledge of business principals;
• The quality of customer service;
• Business type;
• Sales volume.

Fist and foremost, you need to know what factors affect a bank’s decision on opening a merchant account. However, if you face difficulties with getting your account in a domestic bank, you can opt for an overseas merchant account. In fact, this type of account can be pretty beneficial for you.

What should you know about overseas merchant accounts

An overseas merchant account is one of the options that business owners start to think about only when they have problems with opening a merchant account in a domestic bank, but this does not mean that this solution is unreliable.

Today, more and more businesses switch to offshore merchant accounts even if they have no problems with local financial institutions.
