First Card Payments has over 20 years experience as a debt consolidation merchant processor.
Debt Consolidation businesses have helped a lot of people to restructure their debt burden, tame their financial obligations, and handle their many financial responsibilities to avoid going bankrupt. Obviously, Debt Consolidation agencies are a fantastic service for the public. The payment method of choice for this business being majorly credit card payments means having a Debt Consolidation merchant account. Being able to accept merchant account payments are crucial.
At the end of 2017 household debt was well over 13 trillion dollars, unfortunately, that number has grown since then and continues to grow. Chargebacks can be more common with the Debt Consolidation industry and that’s why a Debt Consolidation merchant account falls under the high risk label. Traditional Banks will shy away from the Debt Consolidation industry. Just about any type of industry/ business that has the word debt in it will fall under the high risk category. Not only will Debt Consolidation, but Debt Counseling, Debt Relief, Debt Refinancing, Debt Settlement, and even Loan Brokers fall under the high risk category. First Card Payments have been accommodating the above Debt type companies.

Understanding High-Risk Processing Fees
It’s true an Debt Consolidation merchant account will incur higher fees than a traditional merchant account considered low risk by the merchant processing industry.
Avoid Excessive Processing Fees
Unfortunately, most merchant processing companies will take unfair advantage of you being in the high risk category and charge exorbitant fees.
How Merchant Processing Works
You won’t hear this from your Debt Consolidation merchant account provider, but each and every high risk merchant processing company uses a particular ISO that works with the bank. That’s how the industry works.
Transparent Fee Structure
The ISO sets a fee which the merchant processing company can’t go below, but they can go higher and they do. The merchant processing company you contacted marks up that fee, 9 out of 10 times, way more than they should.
Strong Banking & ISO Partnerships
At First Card Payments, our mission is to create long lasting client relationships. We put the same level of care into creating relationships with our clients, the banks, and ISO’s that we partner with to provide Debt Consolidation merchant account solutions.
