Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We've got answers.

What is a high-risk merchant account?
A high-risk merchant account is a payment processing account designed for businesses that operate in industries considered higher risk by banks and payment processors. This includes businesses with higher chargeback rates, recurring billing models, or those in certain industries. We specialize in getting these businesses approved and processing payments.
Why do I need a specialized processor?
Standard processors like Stripe, PayPal, and Square frequently shut down accounts in high-risk industries without warning. A specialized merchant account gives you stable, long-term processing with banking partners who understand your business model.
How long does approval take?
Most applications are approved within 24-48 hours. Our streamlined underwriting process and established banking relationships allow us to fast-track approvals — even for businesses that have been declined elsewhere.
What industries do you support?
We support travel, coaching, ecommerce, SaaS, supplements, telehealth, subscription services, credit repair, fintech, and dozens more. If your business has been called 'high-risk,' we almost certainly have a solution.
What are your rates and fees?
Rates depend on your industry, volume, and risk profile. We offer competitive, transparent pricing with no hidden fees and no setup costs. Contact us for a rate customized to your business.
What if I've been declined by other processors?
This is our specialty. We work with banking partners who are specifically built for high-risk verticals. Being declined elsewhere does not disqualify you — in fact, it's the most common reason merchants come to us.
Can I switch from my current processor?
Absolutely. We make switching seamless with dedicated onboarding support. Most merchants are fully transitioned within days, with zero disruption to their payment flow.
Do you support recurring billing?
Yes. We fully support recurring subscriptions, installment payment plans, and flexible billing cycles — essential for SaaS, coaching, membership, and subscription-based businesses.
