Get Signed Up for Telecommunications and VoIP Payment Processing

The pandemic was a boon for the telecommunications and VoIP industry. COVID lockdowns and remote working increased the demand for telecommunication services. Businesses and consumers have grown to love the efficiency and affordability of modern telecom technologies. From $30 billion in 2020, the VoIP market is expected to grow to $95 billion in 2027.

Due to its huge potential, it’s easy to assume that financial institutions would embrace this industry with open arms. On the contrary, banks and payment processors shun this market and refuse to offer telecommunications and VoIP payment processing services because they regard these merchants as high-risk businesses.

Why are Telecom Businesses Considered High-Risk?

Telecom/VoIP businesses facilitate global communications at a lower cost. The industry provides important services in a globalized economy, so why are they labeled “high-risk” and rejected by banks? While experiencing record growth, the industry has many problems that make banks reluctant to provide telecommunications and VoIP payment processing services.

Some of the problems in this industry include:

• High-volume transactions – Telecom/VoIP merchants have high processing volumes. The more credit card transactions you process, the greater the risk of payment fraud.
  
• More unhappy customers – The technical nature of your services is more likely to produce disgruntled customers. When customers experience technical issues and don’t get enough support to resolve the problem, they initiate transaction disputes to restore their payment.
  
• Excessive chargebacks – The telecom industry has a subscription business model that relies on recurring billing to collect payments from customers. Customers that forgot they had signed up for or no longer need your services will file chargebacks to dispute the transaction and get their money back.
