Frequently Asked Questions About Pawn Shop Merchant Accounts
Why are pawn shops considered high-risk for payment processing?
Pawn shops are considered high-risk due to several factors: regulatory complexity around lending and reselling, higher chargeback rates, potential for handling high-value transactions, the secondhand nature of merchandise, and occasional perception issues. Traditional banks often categorize pawn shops as high-risk because of these unique business characteristics.
What are the requirements for getting a pawn shop merchant account?
To qualify for a pawn shop merchant account, you typically need: proper business licensing (pawnbroker license), business registration documents, a business bank account, compliance documentation showing adherence to federal, state, and local regulations, clear policies for loans and sales, and proper inventory tracking systems. Circopay guides businesses through these requirements to ensure a smooth application process.
How are the rates for pawn shop merchant accounts determined?
Rates for pawn shop merchant accounts are determined by several factors including: your processing history, chargeback ratio, business longevity, credit score, average transaction size, monthly volume, and your specific business model (focus on loans vs. retail sales). Circopay works to secure competitive rates based on your unique business profile while ensuring compliance with all regulations.
