Common questions.

What defines a 'high-risk' business in payment processing?

A high-risk business typically operates in an industry with higher chargeback rates, involves subscription models, or deals with products/services that attract increased regulatory scrutiny or fraud attempts. Examples include online gaming, adult content, travel, and certain digital goods. Acquirers assess risk based on several factors.
