What is a High Volume Merchant Account?

Businesses in all types of industries require high volume payment processing.  If your company processes more than $100,000 per month, acquiring banks classify you as a high volume merchant. 

Established businesses with processing history find it easy to obtain volume payment processing with low rates, particularly if the company is not classified as a high risk merchant.  Companies in high risk industries are still quickly approved with excellent rates, although fewer acquiring banks accept high risk merchants.  Because of our extensive network of acquiring banks, you can rest assured that your high volume merchant account can be approved. 

Some acquiring banks require payment processing history for approval of high volume merchant accounts.  Yet fast growing companies without processing history often require high volume payment processing in order to take advantage of market demand for their products and services.  The best approach to applying for a high volume merchant account If you do not have processing history is to provide other forms of supporting documentation. 

A well-prepared business plan with pro forma projections is helpful for the underwriting team to understand the opportunity and react favorably to the application.  If your management team is experienced, including resumes with the application file is a good idea.  And business or personal financial information verifying there is enough working capital available to run the business is always helpful for account approval.    


 

Applying for a High Volume Merchant Account

Applying for a high volume payment processing account is always free, with no obligation.  Our goal is to provide you with the lowest rates, fastest approvals and most favorable terms.

Approval times for US high volume merchant accounts are 1-3 days.  High risk merchants are approved in 3-5 days, due to the additional time needed to underwrite the high risk accounts.  International high volume merchant accounts take 5-10 business days for account approval due to time zone considerations. 

When most of your customers are Americans, it is optimal to have a US acquiring bank.  This ensures the highest card approval rates possible.  For companies with targeted markets outside of the US, adding an international merchant account is a simple way to increase card approval rates from global buyers.

How High Volume Merchant Accounts are Approved

The underwriting team immediately starts reviewing the application file as soon as it is received.  The first document that is examined is the application form.  The team confirms details such as names, addresses, phone numbers, emails and other data.  After this the team takes a look at the website.  If you have no website, provide enough information in the application file so the underwriters can understand what is being sold and the terms & conditions associated with the sale. 

The underwriters click through all pages of the website to verify pages load quickly and display correctly.  Information and pricing on products or services is reviewed.  Privacy, refund, shipping and other relevant policies are read completely.  Customer service telephone or emails may be verified to ensure good service is provided to customers.

Payment processing history is examined for with an eye on monthly volumes, chargebacks and returns.   Bank statements are reviewed to confirm enough operating capital is available to operate the business and offset processing risk. 

The underwriting team often check online reviews to see what is being said about the company or owners.  You can do this yourself, so you will know what is out there.  Naturally, no company has perfect reviews.  Still, if you see negative comments, take a minute to reply in a positive and polite manner.  This shows that you care about your customers and your online reputation.

After underwriting is complete, your high volume merchant account is approved.  Your MID (merchant identification number) is issued.  Then you will receive  a secure email with login details to the high volume payment processing gateway .  And you can immediately begin processing.
