Why work with us

Big processors say no.
We say "let's get you boarded."

Stripe, Square, and PayPal cut off entire industries with one policy update. Banks freeze funds and terminate accounts based on chargeback ratios or MCC codes. We're different — because we underwrite each business individually and work with sponsor banks that understand these verticals.

Industries we serve

Specialty merchant accounts.

What to expect

The Payment Gurus high-risk playbook.

Discreet, individualized underwriting

We don't run high-risk applications through a generic algorithm. A senior underwriter reviews your business model, processing history, and risk profile — and writes a placement strategy specific to your account.

Dedicated relationship, not a queue

You get one person who knows your file. When you have a chargeback question at 7pm or a sudden funding hold, you're not starting from scratch with a tier-1 agent reading a script.

Chargeback & risk mitigation tools

High-risk accounts get terminated for chargeback ratios above 1%. We pair your account with chargeback alerts (Verifi, Ethoca), 3DS2 authentication, fraud scoring, and rolling reserve strategies that keep you below threshold.

Transparent pricing — even in high-risk

High-risk processing costs more than retail, but that doesn't mean you can't see the math. Interchange-plus pricing fully disclosed. No surprise fee buckets, no buy-rate markups hidden in "service fees."

Multiple sponsor banks & backup MIDs

One bank can't terminate your business if you have a backup. We board most high-risk accounts with secondary MIDs at separate sponsor banks so a single termination doesn't shut you down.
