Higher-risk sectors
Declined before? Still a conversation.
Some sectors and business models get turned away by mainstream providers. Different acquirers have different appetites. We know which ones will take a proper look at yours.
We regularly talk to...
- Businesses in specialist or regulated sectors
- Merchants declined, or closed, by another provider
- Businesses with higher chargeback rates while they fix them
- New models that standard underwriting does not understand

Questions.
What counts as high-risk?
It varies by acquirer. Common examples are businesses with higher chargeback rates, certain regulated sectors, subscription models and some cross-border businesses.
I was declined elsewhere. Will that stop me?
Not necessarily. Tell us what happened. Being upfront helps, and the final decision is always the acquirer’s.
Will I pay more?
Pricing usually reflects risk. But having several acquirers compete for your business is the best way to keep it fair.
