FAQ

Common questions

What makes a business high-risk?

Banks look at the industry, chargeback and refund rates, average ticket size, recurring billing, the countries you sell to and your processing history. Any of these can put a business in the high-risk category, even when it is fully legal and well run.

I was declined by another provider. Can you still help?

Usually, yes. Many of our merchants come to us after a decline or a closed account. Tell us what happened in the form and we will look for acquirers that accept your profile.

How long does approval take?

It depends on the industry and the acquirer. Once we have your complete documents, many applications are approved within days. Your account manager gives you a realistic timeline after the first review.

What documents will I need?

Typically company registration documents, IDs of directors and owners, proof of address, a business bank account, a working website with terms and refund policy, and recent processing statements if you have them.

Do you work with new businesses?

Yes. New businesses without a processing history can apply. Expect a rolling reserve or volume limits at the start, which can be reviewed as your history builds.

How do I integrate?

You can connect through our API, a hosted payment page, or ready-made plugins for common e-commerce platforms. We help your developers through the setup.
