I’ve been looking into this and am tempted to try but it is a high price so I wanna make sure it’s actually gonna help me rather than be the same issue .

I can get a Hong Kong llc and an Airwallex opened for me but is the Airwallex really better than a standard uk one ?
I do high volume on my Shopify and due to that + high risk product ( I do use cloaking ) I got banned from Shopify payments + Airwallex in the UK .

Do these Hong Kong accounts really make a difference? I’ve heard how on Hong Kong Airwallex accounts after you get a big deposit they suspend your account , can someone give some insight .

Not just restricted to Airwallex btw I’m looking to use any other card payment processor .
 
@Sosaa247 HK Airwallex isn't some magic reset button, if the product/risk profile is what got you clipped in UK they can still freeze you once volume spikes or compliance asks for invoices/supplier docs. Seen guys get through onboarding fine then first proper payout gets held for review... especially Shopify + high risk combo.

If you're already doing high volume, I'd be looking more at proper high risk merchant account with rolling reserve rather than trying to make Airwallex fit. Costs more, yeah, but at least you know what game you're playing instead of waking up to a suspended balance. Also split processors if you can, don't let one account hold the whole business hostage.

You’re right but I was under the impression that a HK Airwallex worked using the rolling reserve that you mentioned , that’s why I asked . I would still be using cloaking but the main issue is high volume , I was told that these HK accounts would be a good solution for that .

As for a proper high risk processor , what would fit for my business ? I sell weight loss products at a high volume and I’ve yet to find a processor that fits for me .
 
Hong Kong setup one of the best solution for high-risk
 
No; Hong Kong or Singapore LLC account will not make a difference.

Irrespective of the country's LLC, any suspicious activity patterns will always get you banned. (You just mentioned one by yourself which is "you suddenly get a big deposit")
 
hk and Singapore registered stripes are more stable, I've heard this from different providers.
