Do you have bed credit or recently filed for bankruptcy?

Although having good credit is an advantage as you will qualify for lower fees, it is not required. A few years ago, if you had bad credit there was very little hope of ever having a merchant account. Today, your chance of being approved by one of our bad credit merchant account providers is 95% even for high risk merchants! If you are declined don't worry, as a last resort you can apply for a high risk merchant account. We do have a 100% approval rate for low risk merchants with bad credit. So you never need to worry about your credit history.

Like any financial business, the risk of lending money to a person with bad credit versus someone with good credit is higher. As you can expect fees for Merchant Accounts are higher for those who have bad credit. Very few people will get turned down for a Merchant Account, however if they are such reasons may include: convicted with financial related fraud, recently claimed bankruptcy or in the middle of proceedings.
