What Is a High-Risk Merchant Account in Slovakia?
A high-risk merchant account in Slovakia is a specialised payment processing solution designed for businesses that most low-risk acquiring banks and standard payment processors generally consider risky due to the following reasons:
- Elevated chargeback ratios
- International or multi-currency transactions
- Recurring billing models (SaaS, subscriptions)
- Regulated or emerging industries
If traditional acquiring banks are shying away from reviewing your application or are declining your application without even looking at it because of the industry or the processor’s own risk appetite, that’s where we step in.
Through our EU processing partner network, we offer merchant accounts that are aligned with all the regulatory frameworks while giving your business global reach.

Who Needs a High-Risk Merchant Account in Slovakia?
A high-risk merchant account is not suitable for businesses that get easy approvals from any low-risk processor. These accounts are specifically optimised for merchants that operate under certain conditions or industries, such as:
- Gaming, tobacco, online dating, adult e-commerce, educational courses, travel, herbal nutraceuticals, legal services
- Serving international clients with multi-currency needs
- Chargebacks around or above 1%
- Offering free trials, rebills, or continuity models
- Previously declined or shut down by a processor
We proudly serve SROs (LLCs), AS companies, and other legal business structures in Slovakia that are operating from Slovakia or targeting customers in the European Union, the US, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada.
It is important to note that the countries from which the merchant can accept traffic may vary depending upon the industry and the merchant’s risk profile.
