High Risk Merchant Services Agent Program

What is the best high risk merchant services agent program?

Choosing the right high risk partner for your merchant services business is important. As the underwriting guidelines of traditional processors tighten, more of your applications will be declined. We have over a decade of experience helping hard to place merchants get credit card processing services.

There are two important factors in high risk merchant services agent programs:

1. Getting Accounts Approved

We have a network of over 80 banks and ISO’s across the world that allow us to place almost any business you could imagine. We strive to approve EVERY application our agents submit to us. We have a long list of satisfied clients that you can use as referral sources to get more high risk business.

2. Getting Paid

As veterans of the industry we know how frustrating it is to send high risk leads and deals to processors and brokerages, just to have them disappear and you never receive any money. We always pay our residuals on the 5th of every month and we offer a program to allow our agents to get upfront commissions from high risk accounts.
