THE SERVICE

Card Processing Placement

Introductions to established processing partners across every risk tier. We prepare the underwriting file, present it to the partner suited to your vertical and risk class, and manage it from approval through activation — one desk, fees in writing first.

  • Underwriting-ready application packet, dispatched same day by DocuSign
  • Partner matched to your vertical and risk class
  • Response typically within one business day
  • Underwriting questions handled on your behalf
  • Activation support through your first settlements

COVERAGE

Three risk classes. One desk.

Most shops handle one end of the risk spectrum. We maintain processing-partner relationships across all three — so the file goes to a partner that actually wants it.

Standard

Conventional underwriting · fastest approvals
  • Retail & e-commerce
  • Professional services
  • Restaurants & hospitality
  • B2B & wholesale trade
  • Health, beauty & fitness
CLASS II

Specialty

Extra documentation · selective partners
  • Subscriptions & continuity billing
  • Travel, events & ticketing
  • Telehealth & wellness services
  • Digital goods & SaaS
  • Marketing & lead-gen services
CLASS III

High-Risk

Specialist partners · our particular strength

Declined before? Terminated by a prior processor? Bring the history — we'd rather see it up front. Placement depends on partner underwriting, and honest files place faster.

PROCESS

How it works

1

Apply

One application, executed by e-signature. Ten minutes of your time; we handle the paperwork from there.

2

Placement

We present your file to the processing partner best suited to your business and risk class, and manage underwriting questions on your behalf.

3

Activation & settlement

Once approved, you process under the partner's agreement and settle on the terms you elected. We stay on the file through activation.

CAREERS

Work the desk

The desk is growing. We're always reading introductions from people who know payments — placement advisors who can carry a book, underwriting coordinators who keep files clean, and partner managers who keep processors answering on the first ring.

Tell us what you've placed, what you've processed, or what you want to learn. A sharp two-paragraph email beats a long résumé.

“Commission structures that reward the people who build the book.”

QUESTIONS

Asked often

How fast can my business be placed?

The application packet goes out by DocuSign the same business day. Initial partner response typically comes within one business day of a complete file; total time to activation depends on the partner's underwriting and your risk class.

My business is high-risk — or was terminated elsewhere. Can you place it?

High-risk placement is our particular strength, and prior declines or terminations don't disqualify you. Include the history in your file — partners underwrite honesty well and surprises poorly. Placement is never guaranteed; it always depends on the partner's underwriting decision.

What does it cost?

Fees are quoted per merchant based on vertical, volume, and risk class — and every fee is put in writing before you're asked to sign anything. No fee is collected on placement services until the terms are documented.
