Collection Agency Merchant Account

High Risk Provider offers a collection agency merchant account for debt collectors and debt collection agencies. The banks consider debt collection and collection agencies both as high risk business types for a variety of reasons. In many countries, including the U.S., require debt collection agencies to have an appropriate business license, bonds, or both licenses and bonds.

These Collection agencies in the U.S. are also subject to both federal and state regulations, which need to be adhered to before being approved for a merchant account. Several checks will be done prior to the account’s approval and licenses will be requested during the application process to prove that the collection agency is indeed legitimate.

High chargeback ratios are also associated with this industry type, which make it difficult to get these types of accounts approved by a regular bank.
