Transaction Profile

High value, low frequency, card-present and CNP mixed, deposit and final balance payments

Card Network Notes

Standard interchange applies. No special network restrictions, though acquirers should note the sensitive nature of dispute handling in this category.

Risk & Compliance

Risk is low. Despite high transaction values, chargebacks are extremely rare due to the nature of the service. The sensitive context of these transactions demands careful acquirer onboarding and merchant communication practices.
