High-Risk Merchant Accounts

High-Risk, Offshore Merchant accounts are available from First Global Treasury.

This high risk merchant account allows your business and/or website to accept credit card payments securely.

Funds are deposited into your bank with no service fees. If you wish to benefit from this tax saving possiblity you will need an offshore merchant account because with a normal merchant account the funds would be “onshore” prior to being sent to your offshore bank account. Thus they are likely to be deemed taxable (depending upon jurisdiction etc.)

Another reason why so many require an offshore merchant account is that Banks typically require detailed documentation including past trading history and are very conservative. This makes it very difficult for a new business or an enterprise deemed as 'high-risk' to get a merchant account at all.
