Introduction

At Lumino, we understand the pivotal role these accounts play and are here to guide you through their numerous benefits.

What is a High-Risk Merchant Account?

Definition and Distinction

A high-risk merchant account is specifically designed for businesses that are deemed high-risk due to their higher propensity for chargebacks, fraud, or regulatory concerns. Unlike standard merchant accounts, they are equipped to handle the increased risks associated with certain business models and industries.
