What Our Customers Are Saying...

We’ve seen it all. You’re not too risky.
You’ve just been talking to the wrong people.

1. What makes a business "high-risk" to payment processors?

Payment processors and banks consider a business high-risk if it has a higher chance of chargebacks, fraud, regulatory scrutiny, or financial instability. This often includes industries like supplements, adult, coaching, CBD, credit repair, firearms, and subscription-based models.

Mainstream platforms like Stripe and PayPal are not built for high-risk businesses. They often approve you initially, but their risk departments can freeze or terminate your account with little notice once they review your activity more closely.

Yes. While being on the MATCH (TMF) list limits your options, we work with banks that still approve merchants in this situation. We don’t offer MATCH removal—but we can help you get back to processing even while you’re on the list.

It depends on your business model and documentation, but most of our clients are approved in 3 to 7 business days. If you’re prepared with all required info, we can sometimes go even faster.

You’ll typically need:

  • A valid government-issued ID

  • A voided business check or bank letter

  • Business formation documents

  • 3–6 months of processing statements (if applicable)

  • A functional website that complies with card brand rules

We’ll guide you through all of it.

Yes. We provide merchant accounts that support eCommerce, MOTO (Mail Order/Telephone Order), recurring billing, and custom gateway integrations to fit your business model.

Absolutely. We offer tools and strategies for reducing chargebacks, including alerts, 3D Secure, dispute management systems, and intelligent fraud filters. High-risk doesn’t have to mean high chargebacks.

Rates vary depending on your risk profile, industry, volume, and processing history. High-risk accounts typically start around 3.5%–6% + per-transaction fees. We’ll walk you through everything upfront—no hidden fees, no surprises.
