Moving & Transportation Merchant Accounts
The moving and transportation industry has enjoyed a huge boost in recent years. In 2017, it was projected that the market for moving services would grow dramatically owing to the fact that the housing market is in a pro-buyer phase. In recent months, that projection has turned out to be correct.
That’s great news for you, but an increase in business means an increase in the challenges faced by your industry. At present, one of the most significant challenges faced by moving and transport professionals is the fact that many credit card processors consider your business to be “high risk.” This makes obtaining essential services like a moving company merchant account and credit card processing much harder than it should be.
Why is My Moving Company Considered High Risk?
Businesses are considered high risk when they exist within an industry where fraud, theft, chargebacks, and other fee disputes are common.
Another key reason the majority of traditional, low risk credit card processing companies shy away from businesses in your industry is the tendency of moving and transport companies to furnish high ticket, one-off sales. Sales like these are prone to the problem known as “friendly fraud.” Otherwise known as chargeback fraud, friendly fraud is when a customer requests a refund from the bank after services have been rendered. They may have moved their belongings, for example, and then complain that the truck was excessively dirty. Or they may say that the movers were rude. Surely, you could think of a hundred other examples. But friendly fraud is when the customer gets what they paid for, and then demands a refund for spurious or subjective reasons.
In other industries, friendly fraud is still a problem, but because ticket sales tend to be smaller, and because customers tend to buy services and products more than once- it is easier to fight back. Returning friendly fraudsters can be turned away. But in the moving business, you are not likely to see one friendly fraudster more than once.
For small and medium-sized businesses, these problems mean lost time and revenue. For credit card processing, it can mean the closure or declined application for a merchant account. The big box, one-size-fits-all credit card processors are set up to try to avoid dealing with “high risk” businesses with these kinds of issues because their banking partner most likely only takes on low risk industries. Here at Leap Payments, we understand these issues when running a moving business but we believe your business deserves a chance to process credit card payments just as much as any other company. When other companies turn you down and decline applications, we work with you- rather than giving you the cold shoulder.
Because your industry is a high-risk business model, credit card processor you choose to partner with will make all the difference when looking to get approved.
Obtaining Merchant Services in a High-Risk Industry
Knowing what you know now about why it is so difficult to secure a moving company or transportation merchant account, you can try your luck waiting for approvals at traditional low risk processors, only to get declined repeatedly, or you can go with a merchant service provider that specializes in high-risk industries.
Applying for your moving company credit card processing account can be a long process. You will be expected to submit numerous forms of ID, business records, tax information, and more. On top of that, many processors will tack on an application fee, sometimes as much as $300, which will not be refunded if your application is denied.
