Tobacco Merchant Account

For decades people have smoked cigarettes and other tobacco products and while smoking rates have declined in the United States, places like China, Japan, and virtually all of Europe have huge percentages of smokers among their citizens. Despite the health risks involved and smoking becoming taboo in some circles, there still remains a high percentage of the population that smoke. This is why tobacco sellers are still very much in demand today and not going out of business anytime soon.

Those that sell tobacco or tobacco related products often find themselves unable to accept all forms of payment because of difficulties in finding a payment processor for their credit card customers. This is because tobacco merchants are considered one of the highest risk industries due to fraud and heavy regulations placed upon them by financial institutions.  Another high risk factor is due to the higher than average rate of chargebacks related to this field.  While finding a payment processor may seem difficult or even impossible, it is truly not.
