Payment service providers consider Travel Agencies and tour operators (MCC 4722) high risking businesses. They are sometimes called unsecure because of high volume of transactions, high cancellation rate, risk of chargebacks, and non-authorization payments. Other companies such as casinos, Wal-Mart, and adult sites are also among high risk. Merchant Stronghold is providingmerchant accounts to high risk businesses for a long time, and a series of features have been implemented to minimize the damage.

Real time payment processing

One of the simplest measures is to define high risk accounts. Real time processing is a way to recognize or point out frauds. Instead of waiting for approval and accepting payment at a scheduled date, real time payment is processed at the moment. It is an essential requirement for Travel Agencies and tour operators under MCC 4722. We also offer electronic invoicing, recurring billing, and fraud prevention.

Customized Accounts and Management

Standard merchant accounts don’t have flexibility; you need a customized account to deal with high volume transactions. With time, your travel business will expand and limited payment methods won’t work. High risk accounts should have features such as “cash control and cash flow” management.

High Risking Account in Multiple Currencies

Don’t choose a Payment service provider who doesn’t deal in multiple currencies. There are a number of possibilities when you expand your business on the internet. You can sell Travel packages to clients from other parts of the world. A Merchant account in multiple currencies can be a good future investment. For suppose, if you are a UK based merchant and you receive payment in dollars, your account should act as a bridge between two difference currencies.
