How Firearms Dealers Can Avoid High-Risk Merchant Account Rates
High-Risk Business Doesn’t Mean High Processing Rates
January 10, 2020The elephant in the room
Why do banks classify the firearms industry as high risk? It seems unreasonable right? Firearms transactions are some of the safest transactions that occur. You as a Federal Firearms Licensed (FFL) dealer, Manufacturer, Pawn Broker or Accessories retailer know that better than anyone. A person purchasing a firearm must fill out the requisite forms, present government issued identification and pay for the item. Very few items purchased in store or online have these restrictions. You can buy alcohol or cigarettes with ease, but a firearm requires a mounting stack of restrictions. So why the high risk? You are no stranger to the external pressures from government restrictions, media mislabeling, civilian pressure and now even the bank considers you a risk! That is unfair and unjust, and you and I know that.
