No doubt about it: customers now expect the convenience of using credit and debit cards to purchase products and services. A recent study from the Board of Governors of the U.S. Federal Reserve reveals that 33 percent of shoppers prefer to pay with credit cards and 44 percent with  debit cards. That’s 77 percent of all consumers. Today, just 12% of consumers pay with that old stand-by, cash.

Categorization as “high risk” has little to do with how you run your business. It’s about your industry, the behavior of the customers in your industry and several other practical considerations based on trends that have nothing to do with your business. While merchants in high risk industries do pay more in fees, we even provide the tips to keep your fees as low as possible.

First Financial keeps you accepting credit cards whether you’ve been terminated through another service, began selling to international markets or started in an industry where consumers are not fully honest about their address, have a history of default or frequently return items. Despite some minor challenges, these businesses have long and healthy lives. Yours can be one of them!
