High-Risk Merchant Account

Reserves may apply, and any reserve is disclosed in your agreement before you sign.
  • Pre-underwriting review of your website, checkout, and documents (state licenses (often under insurance departments), plan terms, and claim data)
  • Application packaged and submitted only to acquirers with appetite for your category
