We look at how a business actually runs — what it sells, who buys it, and what its history looks like — rather than at the label its category carries. These are the sectors we see most.
Nutraceuticals and supplementsTrial offers, repeat orders and refund rates that make mainstream banks nervous.
Subscriptions and membershipsRecurring billing with renewals, retries and clear cancellation, which is what keeps disputes down.
Travel and ticketingBookings paid long before the trip, where delivery weeks later raises the risk profile.
E-commerce and dropshippingCross-border orders, fast-moving catalogues and fulfilment you do not control end to end.
Gaming and digital goodsTop-ups, in-game items and downloads delivered the moment the payment clears.
Forex and crypto platformsCard deposits into trading, brokerage and exchange accounts.
Ordinary low and medium-risk businesses are welcome too. Most of what follows simply does not come up for them.
What we look at
- What you sell, and how and when the customer receives it.
- Where your customers are, and how much an average order is worth.
- How you take payments today, and what your dispute history looks like.
- Whether your business is registered, or you are applying as an individual.
All of it goes into one checklist during the application, and most reviews finish within 24 to 48 hours once nothing is missing.
Your industry is not listed
That does not mean no. It means we would rather look than guess.
