Bad Credit Merchant Accounts — Get Approved, Stay Processing
Struggling with high-risk flags or past processing issues? We connect you with payment providers that specialize in working with merchants who have less-than-perfect credit or past shutdowns.
Why Merchants With Bad Credit Struggle
- Traditional banks reject applications due to personal credit scores or past merchant account issues.
- High chargeback ratios or sudden volume spikes lead to shutdowns or rolling reserves.
- Some processors won’t even consider you if you’ve had a terminated MID.
This makes it nearly impossible for high-risk businesses to accept card payments — even when the demand is there.
