Telecom/VoIP businesses facilitate global communications at a lower cost. The industry provides important services in a globalized economy, so why are they labeled “high-risk” and rejected by banks? While experiencing record growth, the industry has many problems that make banks reluctant to provide telecommunications and VoIP payment processing services.

Some of the problems in this industry include:

High-volume transactions – Telecom/VoIP merchants have high processing volumes. The more credit card transactions you process, the greater the risk of payment fraud. More unhappy customers – The technical nature of your services is more likely to produce disgruntled customers. When customers experience technical issues and don’t get enough support to resolve the problem, they initiate transaction disputes to restore their payment. Excessive chargebacks – The telecom industry has a subscription business model that relies on recurring billing to collect payments from customers. Customers that forgot they had signed up for or no longer need your services will file chargebacks to dispute the transaction and get their money back.
