Operating in industries like online gaming, adult content, or subscription services means you’re labeled as a high-risk merchant. And with that label comes a host of challenges: rejected applications, exorbitant fees, account terminations, and rigid banking policies. Traditional banks often avoid high-risk sectors due to concerns about fraud and chargebacks, leaving businesses underserved and vulnerable.
These roadblocks can hinder growth and strain operational resources.
Independent Sales Organizations (ISOs) are game-changers for high-risk merchants. They offer tailored, flexible payment solutions that traditional banks simply can’t.
ISOs like NextGen provide access to a vast ecosystem of over 25 acquiring banks. This increases the chances of getting approved for a merchant account and ensures you’re not locked into a one-size-fits-all system.
Instead of being forced into rigid fee structures, ISOs negotiate competitive rates that align with your business model. On average, merchants save around 15% on transaction fees when partnering with an ISO.
High-risk businesses need more than just payment processing—they need guidance. ISOs specialize in risk mitigation, chargeback management, and regulatory compliance, ensuring your operations are safe and efficient.
