Payment Processing
Payment processing is the handling of transactions from merchants. Merchants are unable to get payment processing with most banks. Furthermore, many merchants who are accepting credit card payments have run into several issues with their existing service(s), such as increased difficulties in chargeback disputes, funds being on hold, significantly higher fees – even for a classification, lack of support, and/ or multiple account closures.
Who is a Merchant?
When it comes to what businesses are classified as “a merchant,” there are well defined guidelines being set globally within the payment processing landscape. The main criteria is a raised level of potential credit card fraud and credit card chargebacks, associated with accepting electronic payments. A variety of reasons can lead to this scenario, including the following:
- Nature of the Industry
- Payment Terms
- Monthly Processing Volumes/ Ticket Sizes
- Nature of the Consumers

Merchants must know that they deserve fair payment processing rates and terms of service and they should carefully choose their provider, as payment processing company contracts and offers can greatly vary.
