High-risk merchant accounts
Looking for a high-risk merchant account for an online project. Most providers either charge crazy rates or freeze funds after a few weeks. Any advice on how to minimize risks of account shutdown or reserve holds? Has anyone found a stable solution recently?

High-risk is always tricky chargebacks, industry type and country play a big role. The key is to work with processors who actually specialize in high-risk (not general ones that accept you then drop you). Transparent reserves, rolling reserves instead of huge upfront holds, and good fraud monitoring help a lot. Also having your own risk management lowers their concerns.
