High Risk Merchant accounts in the UK
« on: December 10, 2013, 03:17:58 PM »
OK, I need one and as I know some of you are involved in 'high risk' businesses or was.

Getting pretty fed up now as I keep getting turned down because a) it's to do with electronic cigarettes and b) it's subscription based.

I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction of a merchant account provider that can accommodate what I need.

I though I had success with First Data but they're telling me to drop the recurring part of the business which will not work unless I go back to the drawing board.

I wonder myself.
I know it can be done because in the time it has taken me to jump through hoops only to be turned down, someone in the states has got there first doing something similar with good results.
