FAQ

Common questions about merchant accounts

What counts as high-risk?
Any industry the major processors decline — nutraceuticals, CBD, firearms, adult, gaming, forex, pharma, travel, subscriptions, and dozens more. If Stripe or Square rejected you, you're in the right place.
How long does approval take?
Most decisions within 24 hours. Most approved merchants are live within 3 business days. A representative will contact you shortly.
Is there a contract?
No. There are no long-term contracts. We keep merchants because the service works, not because a contract requires it.
My account was just terminated. What now?
Call 786.453.7357 now. Terminations are prioritized. Most decisions come within 24 hours.
My chargeback ratio is above 1%. Can you still help?
Usually yes. Tell us the root cause.
