Why Find A Processor

A processor that gets your business.
A broker in your corner.

“We support high-risk” is only the first question. Whether a processor supports your particular business—and offers a relationship worth having—is where we come in.

Your business comes first.

We focus on high-risk and underserved merchants, so your business model is the starting point for the search.

More than one processor relationship.

We work with multiple processing partners to identify potential fits. You’re not limited to one provider’s criteria.

A broker in your corner.

We help you navigate applications and evaluate the offer—including pricing, reserves, payout timing, and contract terms.

Room for a backup plan.

We can explore additional merchant accounts and suitable gateway connections, including when you’re keeping your current processor.

Build the payment setup around the business

The account is the start.
The setup matters, too.

Connect the right gateway. Consider an additional account. Give your business more than a single path.

Keep your processor.
Build your plan B.

If your current processing works, you may still want another relationship in place. We can help you explore a backup merchant account without making a full processor switch.

A secondary account gives you another approved relationship to consider as part of your business’s payment structure.

Backup accounts require provider approval. They do not guarantee uninterrupted processing or automatic failover.

A better account.
A smarter way to get paid.

Your merchant account is only part of the setup. Find A Processor helps you bring checkout, recurring billing, and everyday payment tools together around the way your high-risk business operates.

Checkout that fits your store

Connect a compatible shopping cart or use a mobile-friendly hosted checkout. We help you assess the integration before you switch, so customers have a clear path to pay.

Subscriptions with less admin

Automate recurring card or ACH billing for memberships, retainers, and repeat orders. Available retry tools and account updater can help recover failed payments and keep billing on track.

Send a link. Get paid.

Send an invoice by email or text with a secure payment link. Let customers pay remotely, then keep payment status, receipts, and invoice records connected.

Saved payments for repeat buyers

A tokenized customer vault securely stores payment methods for future purchases and recurring billing. Make repeat payments easier without keeping raw card details in your own system.

Fraud controls you can tune

Use configurable rules, transaction-velocity filters, and risk scoring to help flag suspicious activity. We help you explore controls that suit your card-not-present sales model.

Take payments beyond checkout

Use a browser-based virtual terminal for phone orders and remote payments. Bring card and eligible ACH payments into a dashboard for transaction review, refunds, and reporting.

We confirm compatibility, feature availability, and any additional fees for your proposed setup. Card and ACH acceptance are subject to provider approval; processing rates are separate from gateway fees.

Pricing that fits the relationship

The right model.
Terms you understand.

Provider fit comes first. Then we assess the pricing options available for your business.

01 / INTERCHANGE PLUS

See how the price is built.

Interchange Plus separates the underlying interchange costs from the processor’s markup. We help you review the offer alongside its other fees and account terms.

Rates and availability depend on the provider and the business.

02 / SURCHARGE

Explore another way to manage costs.

A surcharge program may allow eligible card-payment costs to be passed to the customer. We assess whether the program is appropriate for your business and the proposed processing setup.

Eligibility, permitted charges, and implementation requirements must be confirmed for the account and location.

Before you decide

Good questions.
Clear answers.

Switching, staying, or starting fresh—here’s what to know.

Ask us your question

I’m happy with my processor. Why look at other options?

You don’t have to replace a relationship that works. An assessment can help you understand your current terms or explore an additional merchant account. A backup relationship may be worth discussing even when you’re not ready to make a full switch.

Can you help after another processor declined or closed my account?

We can assess your business and identify potential providers with different underwriting requirements. A previous decline or closure is part of the review, not a promise of a different outcome. Each processor independently decides whether to approve and continue servicing an account.

Will I have to change my terminal, POS, or online checkout?

We check your existing setup before recommending a provider. Tell us which terminal, POS, shopping cart, and gateway you use. Compatibility depends on that setup and the prospective processor, so it needs to be confirmed rather than assumed.

What does it cost?

There is no fee to use the processor-matching service. If your setup uses our gateway program, its fee is $25 per month plus $0.10 per transaction. Processing rates are separate. We help you understand the merchant-account offer, including pricing, reserves, payout timing, and contract terms, before you decide.

Can I get a backup account without switching my main processor?

Yes, we can help you explore a secondary merchant account while you retain your current processing relationship. The backup account requires its own provider approval and terms. Any gateway configuration or use of multiple accounts must be confirmed for your approved setup.

Can you guarantee approval, savings, or that my account won’t be closed?

No. We work to find a processor whose requirements fit your business and help you understand the relationship. Approval, pricing, and continued processing remain the provider’s decisions. A backup account also does not guarantee uninterrupted acceptance.

Can you send me some information before I decide?

Yes. Share your contact and business details, and we can discuss the options relevant to your situation. You can ask about pricing, provider requirements, technology, or backup accounts before deciding whether to pursue a merchant-account application.
