High-Risk Food & Beverage Merchant Accounts

Some food and beverage products are restricted or declined by mainstream platforms because of legal status, age restrictions or dispute risk. Roots works with processing partners that underwrite these categories. We work with virtually any legal business, subject to underwriting; reserves may apply.
