What were the initial challenges you faced?

Success, like every growth, needs nurturing. In the business industry, thousands of   ideas are generated, and millions are rejected. However, iPayTotal Ltd was not such   one idea. iPayTotal Ltd was an idea started by three people three years ago, and   their aims were clear: they were going to make it work.   They planted this small seed, but they didn’t hope for it to just grow on its own; they   nurtured the growth of the company to put it up on its feet where it is today.   Through intricately handled meetings, teams and designs, they went up against every obstacle, only to come out stronger and bigger.

There were hindrances and hardships, but there was more hard work and ambition.   Every entangled situation was thought over to provide the best service that we do till date. And with this, we can say that we are an international company, with offices in countries like United States, Canada, Philippines, Singapore, United Kingdom, Hong Kong, India and South Africa, providing services from Payment Acquiring to IBAN Accounts to Prepaid Cards, with partnerships and alliances with the top-level banks and financial organizations all around the globe.

We believe that every idea needs encouragement, and with our services, we want to   make your growth conducive, because greatness starts from small beginnings. To   celebrate our third anniversary, we have decided to grow BIG and we are planning to go offshore to cater the whole world as a licensed institution.

We have faced many different challenges over the years. We struggled initially understanding various fraudulent activities and then worked on to provide high safety systems. Now our international payment gateway provides powerful built-in fraud prevention filters and monitoring tools based on client behaviour, ensuring any suspicious activity is blocked.

Which was that point that triggered the growth of the company?

Although many industry initiatives focus on fraud and identity theft, the reality is that a significant percentage of financial losses associated with credit, and debit payments is the result of organized crime, business failures, inadequate monitoring of merchant accounts & financial loss from unfunded chargebacks.

As the saying goes, “Experience is the best teacher“. With time and experience, the company as a payment processing provider, has evolved its technology to such an extent to detect the crime of financial fraud. iPayTotal’s risk management team along with its partnered acquirers, PayFacs and processors have launched this program that benefits the payment processing industry and assures them of complete satisfaction and confidence when reviewing any particular merchant’s case.

This program would not only help its payment processing industry but also gives the first time merchants a scope or a window to judge an acquirer, a PayFac or a processor before blindly going with the reviews available online.   iPayTotal’s Payment Gateway has a built-in ’Risk’ logic, which can sniff out a possible fraud faster than a K9 squad. Its ’Risk’ logic also has 72 odd rules for monitoring the thousands of transactions on the company’s payment gateway daily. Every time a card is used for payment, the company’s gateway connects with the card provider to check if the card has been hot listed. (Hot listing means that the card has been blocked temporarily or permanently for use).

At iPayTotal, the agenda is to ensure that a customer’s business can process credit card payments with a high-risk merchant account. Once we started understanding challenges faced by the merchants , our team started working on those regions at the same time we started providing unparalleled support. This helped us in significant growth.

How can high-risk merchant be a saviour?

There are several reasons why a processor might label a merchant as ‘high risk.’ Some characteristics that identify high risk businesses are superficial factors based on the business’s industry or clientele, while others are directly related to the merchant’s business practices.

If you run an online business with a higher risk of chargebacks and want to process credit card transactions, that’s when you need a high-risk merchant account. Let’s take an example of high-risk businesses is the travel industry, as there are various factors there that can cause cancellations. This usually ends up with a large number of refunds and customers who file chargebacks. Few others are gambling, forex trading, and adult-themed websites, etc

So if you run a business in the industries mentioned above or similar, you will definitely need a high-risk merchant account to accept credit card payments on your website.

We have dealt with thousands of merchants and we understand how difficult it is for high risk merchants. So we have designed our system keeping high risk merchants in mind. If you are a high risk merchant you can always contact us, even if you are not our customer we will be happy to help you with your questions.
