Stripe Is A Risk To Your Business: How To Take Control Of Your Money And Data

Stripe’s increasing punitive compliance regs are seeing more and more businesses shut down for small rises in chargeback rates.If your chargebacks reach 0.8%, it’s just a matter of time before Stripe shuts down your account.

They will hold your money for weeks or months, disrupting your cashflow and ability to fulfill for your customers.

They will lock down your customer/cardholder payment data, so you won’t be able to migrate to another merchant processing partner.

If 1 fraudster blasts your account with a bunch of stolen cards, you’re gone overnight.

Stripe owns the customer.

It’s time to diversify payment processing and put multiple redundancies in place to protect your business.

Checkout Champ’s payment platform is built with this defensive payment strategy front and centre – plus we facilitate new banking relationship introductions for our clients.
