The aggregators
The least stable options out there: easy to get approved with upfront, but the real underwriting comes later, usually when your volume spikes.
Instant approval, instant risk. Scale too fast or trip a threshold and funds get held or the account closed, often with a 90-day reserve.
Convenient, but it’s Stripe underneath: the same aggregator risk and payout holds, just rebranded.
Known for 180-day holds and permanent limitations, applied by automated risk systems that are hard to appeal.
What it costs you
Declined transactions you never see, quietly costing you sales at checkout.
Aggregator pricing that eats your margin as volume grows.
No one to call when something breaks, just a support queue.
Buyers who can’t pay the way they want, in markets you can’t fully serve.
A setup that stalls or flags you the moment you start to grow.
The operational audit
Before we place you, we run a comprehensive operational audit of your business, so the account we build is stable from day one rather than flagged in month three. What we look at depends on your situation, but it usually covers:

Common questions
It’s an account a processor treats as more likely to see chargebacks, fraud, or regulatory issues, so it’s underwritten more carefully, often with tighter terms, a reserve, or a higher chance of being dropped.
Two things. Some businesses are flagged by their MCC code, the category the card networks assign, like CBD, nutraceuticals and supplements, adult, firearms, or gaming. Others get flagged by their model rather than their product: dropshipping, subscriptions, and high-ticket sales draw scrutiny even in “normal” categories.
If we take you on and can’t get you approved with a provider in our network, you don’t pay for the placement. The guarantee is why the audit comes first: we only proceed when the account will hold.
Aggregators like Stripe, Shopify, and PayPal onboard you instantly and can offload you just as fast when volume or risk climbs. We place you with tier-one processors and acquiring banks that underwrite you properly and are built to keep you.
Once you’re live, we stay on as your account management: monitoring authorization rates, handling provider issues, and keeping the account compliant for the life of the relationship.
It depends on your business category and documentation, but the audit front-loads the work so underwriting doesn’t stall. You’ll get a realistic timeline after the initial review.
