FAQ
Questions about high-risk payments?
High-risk activities present greater constraints in terms of fraud, litigation, and regulatory compliance. Payment providers must therefore apply stricter acceptance, control, and monitoring rules.
A specific offer allows the tools, financial conditions and security mechanisms to be adapted to these constraints.
High-risk payments are subject to stricter regulations and card network requirements, resulting in specific costs. CentralPay applies a tailored pricing structure based on several factors.
Variable fees on each card transaction:
- Interchange fees, charged by the cardholder's bank
- Card network fees (CB, Visa, Mastercard)
- CentralPay service fees, related to the operation of the platform and associated services
These fees vary depending on the volume of payments received, the business model, and the options negotiated at the start of the contract.
Integration support fees : These depend on the technical complexity of the project and the level of configuration required.
Exceptional fees : These may apply in the event of customer disputes, chargebacks, or specific processing.
Opening a High Risk payment account is based on a comprehensive analysis of the payment collection project.
The process includes :
- A commercial qualification (business model, volumes, needs)
- A risk assessment by the compliance teams (sector, country, history, chargebacks)
In accordance with regulations, documents and supporting evidence are required at each stage of the process.
The reserve fund involves setting aside a portion of the funds received for a defined period. It serves to cover potential chargebacks, reimbursements, or financial losses.
Depending on the risk profile, this amount can represent up to 20% of cash receipts.
Yes. In the event of excessive dispute rates or non-compliance with contractual conditions, CentralPay may apply corrective measures.
This may include :
- Exceptional costs
- A temporary restriction of the account
- The immediate suspension or closure of the account
