Dear "No Ship" merchants: I appreciate the transparency because many of you will let us know upfront that is what you're looking for. It's not only a compliance issue, exposes us to liability but it also harms relationships. Therefore, kindly do not apply.

Colombia is probably
#1
in the world for per capita phone thefts. It is a lot more dangerous than people think because police do not report most crimes. Their system is a complete failure.
Comments on a Stripe "Horror Story"
- Doing any sort of quick ramp up of orders sets off yellow/red flags to banks.
- It's better that a bank holds a 10% reserve instead of overreacting and refunding all customers/closing merchant accounts
- It's better to disclose your
You've got approved for $500,000/mo in processing. Now what? For clients only, we can introduce you to traffic sources, including affiliates, who can potentially fill your entire capacity quite quickly. P.S. Not every bank likes affiliate traffic & you need to disclose it...

I spoke to an Uber driver. He thinks the shots fired were fake because BBC and CNN and many other videos told him that.
Surprisingly some people still believe “Mainstream” propaganda.
He says he is 100% sure its fake and will never change his mind even with new info.
@MoreThanMasses
My good IRL friends (The Masanto family) own this. They are keen on compliance, doing the right thing and not keen on negative option. Perhaps you can ask them. They have been legends for a decade.
Q: You've been approved for "Unlimited/uncapped processing." Should you process $500,000+ in one month?
Only if you're certain your chargeback rate is well under 1%. Otherwise, you risk the longevity of your merchant account.
In the vast majority of cases, you can't send someone a wire and have them get you rich. You need to oversee the key areas until they're made simple. The level of attention to detail needed to succeed is usually beyond the level you can blindly outsource. In other words, most

Did you know there are probably less than 6 "high risk friendly" credit card processing solutions in the US that will let you sell 90%+ outside of the US?
Why do higher risk friendly European payments solutions have longer (eg. 5-7 day settlement times) instead of US banks, which often take 1-2 days?
Europe, most banks don't check a merchant's credit score, so they are exposed to more risk. They overcome this risk by relying

Question: Will I get MATCH listed if my chargeback rate is higher than 1%? Not necessarily. It would typically only happen if you hit >= 75 chargebacks on a card brand in a calendar month, fraud occurred, you didn't ship great products or you owe money to an ISO/acquiring bank.

50%+ of mobile traffic is bots. I've literally tested 75+ sources. Bots/fraud is very common. It gets a lot greyer than that. Even anti-fraud mobile tools won't detect it.

Did you know you can bill in 50+ currencies with some US merchant accounts and settle your funds back in USD$? By doing so, you can increase your authorization and conversion rate...Most merchant account solutions won't let you do this.

I'm not surprised by JP Morgan blocking CRYPTO. In 2013 an accountant I know lost over 100+ bank accounts she managed on behalf of clients because one of her clients had one transaction from Coinbase. In fact, this is what initially put me off crypto.
If you're a subscription merchant using Shopify Payments, if Shopify Payments closes your account you likely can NOT migrate your data.
It's best to start with a subscription friendly solution from the start... 🧠🤝
Q: Can you use a Hong Kong entity to apply for EU processing? A: No. You can leverage your history from HK or any other country but EU banks typically require you to incorporate an entity in Europe to process payments.

The answer depends your preferences (Cash flow, decline rates, risk and building a relationship)
To clarify:

Authorize is just a gateway…just like NMI AND Cybersource. The actual backend banks they work with vary substantially. The market is confusing to many as there are many layers: Acquiring bank, card brands, processors, ISO, and gateways. They are typically different firms
You can overcome not being able to advertise with alternative traffic methods/organic traffic/influencers.
However, you can't overcome not being able to process payments. Therefore, choose your business model wisely and ensure banks will accept your model in advance.
If you're selling in Europe, we now have excellent optons with multi-currency capabilities. You can be a startup or a seller with history. You can leverage your US processing history to get approved for higher limits in Europe. To apply, get in touch with a team member :)
Do "Bulletproof" merchant accounts exist? Do accounts with zero holds exist?
Almost every bank, including high risk friendly solutions, will hold your funds if you trigger any of the following triggers:
1. Higher than acceptable chargeback rates
2. A high sales growth rate
3.
Can you run European traffic on US merchant accounts? We've only identified 3-5 US banks that are comfortable with you running more than 50% non US traffic. So, yes it's possible if you work with the right banks. Avoid holds/surprising your bank by speaking to us first.
If your merchant account is closed, how long do most banks hold funds? 180-270 days after the last potential dispute/chargeback is the typical time frame

I subscribe to FTC alerts as it’s interesting to know what regulators target over time. This is an interesting example from today. Using only real reviews and not suppressing reviews is important.

Visa released their 2024 Global Fraud & Payments report. "Findings show that 63% of merchants report an increase in friendly fraud since last year alone. The good news? 77% of merchants say card brand compelling evidence updates have successfully blocked friendly fraud."
This happens a lot.

I would love to talk to anyone with 50+ Venezuelan, Colombian or Panamanian freelancers (non call center). I wish it was easier. It is harder than you think due to the level of English/other factors. Parts for Asia are still supreme.
Why do many merchants prefer custom checkout solutions like , CartHook, CheckoutChamp, or Konnektive. These solutions can you make or save millions of dollars over a default Shopify or Woocommerce checkout?
Your decline/approval rate is dependent on many factors including but not limited to the following:
A) Acquiring bank (We can help you work with higher approval banks in the US & EU)
B) Billing model (When do you charge the customer and how much?)
C) Countries you sell to
The most successful people I know are the most likely to ask for help/recommendations and introductions. People have an irrational fear of asking for help.
