Why Are Collectibles Considered High-Risk?
The collectibles industry is classified as high-risk for several reasons:
- Subjective Valuation and Market Volatility
Collectibles often have subjective values that can fluctuate with market trends, making them vulnerable to disputes or chargebacks if buyers feel they overpaid.
- Increased Susceptibility to Fraud and Counterfeit Goods
Due to the rarity and high value of many collectibles, there is a higher risk of fraud, including counterfeit items being sold to unsuspecting buyers.
- High Transaction Values
Transactions for rare or high-value collectibles often involve large sums of money, increasing the potential for disputes and chargebacks.
Despite these challenges, High-Risk Match specializes in navigating the complexities of the collectibles industry, offering tailored merchant account solutions that mitigate risk while ensuring your business can grow and thrive.
Collectible Merchant Account Types
At High-Risk Match, we offer a range of merchant account types designed to meet the needs of collectibles businesses:
- Online
For collectible businesses focused on eCommerce, our online payment solutions offer everything you need to securely accept payments from customers around the world. We provide secure payment gateways with advanced features such as:
- Encryption and tokenization to protect sensitive financial data.
- SSL technology and SET protocol for enhanced transaction security.
With our online merchant accounts, your collectible business can reach customers globally while ensuring secure and smooth payment processing.
- Retail
For businesses operating physical storefronts, High-Risk Match offers retail merchant services tailored to card-present transactions. In-person transactions are generally seen as lower risk, and with our POS systems, you’ll benefit from seamless, secure payment processing with lower processing fees. Our full suite of POS devices ensures fast, easy, and secure transactions for your in-store customers.
- Over the Phone (MOTO)
If your business takes orders over the phone, a MOTO merchant account from High-Risk Match will allow you to process these payments securely. Using a virtual terminal, you can manually enter payment information and complete transactions for card-not-present purchases. This is ideal for businesses with significant manual entry or for those offering collectible items through phone sales.

To open a collectibles merchant account, you will need the following documents:
- Proof of Identity: Government-issued photo ID
- Three to Six Months of Bank Statements
- A Signed Merchant Application
- Corporate Documents
- A Voided Check or Bank Letter
- Address Verification: Utility bill or similar

- Contact details: Phone number and email
- Privacy Policy page

Providing these documents will ensure a smoother and faster application process, allowing you to start accepting payments without unnecessary delays.
