I finally got approved for a high-risk merchant account, thinking it would be more stable. But now I’m hearing that even these accounts can still get suspended. Is that true? Can a high-risk merchant account be shut down even though it’s made for high-risk businesses?

Yes, it’s possible. Even high-risk accounts—tailored for businesses with higher chargeback ratios and disputes—can face suspension. This usually happens if you violate the payment processor’s policies or guidelines. Each processor has specific rules, restrictions, and compliance standards that must be followed closely.
