The Need Specialized Merchant Accounts

As a business that sells products such as tobacco, e-cigarettes, cigars and pipes, a specialized merchant account will allow your business to operate without any issues whether your business is a ick and mortar or e-commerce store. Unfortunately, many traditional banks are not likely to improve businesses that sell products such as electronic cigarettes and other smoke shop products due to their high-risk issues and other traditional processors such as PayPal and Square also do not support these industries.  These industries are often subject to higher chargebacks, complex regulations, and other risks that make it difficult to establish banking relationships.
