This makes it critical that you open up a merchant account for your company so that you can accept payments in any form, be it in the form of a check or a credit card payment.
To make the process of collection smooth and quick without any hindrance, you as the collection agency are required to accept payments in any form offered by the debtor. Your business will end up losing many clients if it cannot fulfill its obligations, especially because it could not collect the form of payment being offered by the debtors. The fact that a payment aggregator is skeptical of your business can add fuel to your downfall.

The chargeback associated with your industry is high as many people are not ready to repay their loans quickly, especially when there are other costs added to the amount borrowed such as interest and penalties for not paying back the money on time. It is due to this very reason that collection agencies are dubbed as high-risk businesses and are not catered by many services that offer merchant accounts, which is where we come in and lend you a helping hand.
High-risk industry
Giving money to people is quite easy as almost everyone is ever ready to take it and use it to fulfill their needs and requirements. However, taking money from people to repay their loans or other debts is tough as people are reluctant to give back, even if they were eager to take it in the first place. The process of collecting debt from people only sounds easy, but the actual work of making sure that all the payments are repaid is not at all easy and can take a lot of unsuccessful attempts by collection agencies and debt collectors.
It is due to this reason that collection agencies are considered to be at extremely high risk. The majority of the time, people are not willing to quickly pay back the money that they have loaned. If your business is lucky enough, it might encounter a few individuals who would be ready to pay up quickly. Even if your startup is a new entrant in this industry, you will be well aware of the harshness of the dealings faced when encountering debtors. As the chargeback rate in this industry is very high, there are a lot of risks involved in opening accounts for collection agencies.
Denied and shut off by other credit card processors?
Companies like First Data or PayPal reserve the right to shut off or make changes to your business's account at any point in time. This is because they believe that the risk associated with your business is quite high and will require them to take safety precautions, which will allow them to shut off or deny your account at any time they feel the need to do so.
The fact that your customers can make a payment in any form that seems natural to them means that you will have to accept their payment.

New businesses
New startups find it difficult to operate in this industry as many service providers are reluctant on helping out by opening merchant accounts for them. The reason for this is the high risk and chargebacks that come with a new venture. The fact that there is no history of your credibility adds more risk to your business.
Our fees will be based on the analysis that we do for your business. Our prices may be high for startups, but there are no application fees rendered by us. The risk associated with your business will determine the fees that will be charged.
