Why high-risk businesses struggle with regular providers
You run a legal business with a real product. Regular banks and payment providers still make it hard to take a payment.
They don't really serve your industry
Most banks and processors are built for low-risk retail. High-risk businesses get declined at the first look, or cut off soon after payments start.
Endless compliance questions
When they do take a look, you're dragged through round after round of compliance questions. Months can pass before you get a clear answer.
Huge fees
If the answer is yes, high-risk premium pricing follows: big setup costs, high monthly fees and a large cut of every sale. That money comes straight out of your margin.
You need a provider that serves high-risk industries
Invincible Pay is that provider. We work with underserved industries that have good procedures and a good product in place. You get Interac e-Transfer pay-ins and payouts, EFT and same-day wires, priced per transaction, with an account manager who knows your business.
What high-risk processing costs per transaction
You pay $1.95 + 0.20% per transaction. Say you process $60,000 a month by credit card at a typical high-risk rate of 5.9%: that's $3,540 in credit card processing fees.
Process the same $60,000 by Interac e-Transfer with us instead, as 300 payments of $200. At $1.95 + 0.20% each, that's $705: a saving of $2,835 every month.
An example, not a quote. 5.9% is a typical credit card rate for high-risk processing, not any one provider's. Your fees with us depend on how many payments you take and how big they are.
What we'll ask for, and how long it takes
We accept high-risk industries. We'll just want to check what industry you're in, what your product is, how you work with your customers, your expected flow of funds, and your previous processing history, including chargeback rates.
What we'll ask for
- Your industry, and where you sell
- Your product, and what your customers pay for
- How you work with your customers: how they sign up, pay and reach you
- Your expected flow of funds: what comes in, what goes out, and roughly how much each month
- Your previous processing history, including chargeback rates
- Who owns and runs the business: directors, officers and anyone owning 25% or more verify their identity online
