Even though, Durango Merchant Services (DMS) provide services to merchants of any risk level, they are specialized in providing services to high risk international merchants and to internet based merchant accounts. There specialization in providing services to high risk accounts is an indication that they know what they are doing.
Durango Merchant Services is a company that has been working for over 12 years, but yet it is still hard to find single complaint against them or even a bad discussion on web hosting forums. As I compared Durango Merchant Services with other MSPs that provide services to high risk merchants, I was unable to find any better company than Durango Merchant Services especially when it comes to providing services to international high risk merchants.
Many providers even direct their high risk international merchants to DMS, a company that now become symbol of trust and high quality services. I rated DMS as 5 out of 5 company, as they are one of the best MSPs providing services to high risk clients.
They are also very active online, as you can find them on every social media network including Facebook, Twitter, and Linkedin.
