FAQ
Common Questions
What is a high-risk payment gateway?
A high-risk payment gateway is purpose-built processing infrastructure for businesses that mainstream processors like Stripe or PayPal decline — including iGaming, forex, crypto, adult, and other regulated industries. Unlike aggregators, high-risk gateways offer dedicated merchant accounts with chargeback management and terms calibrated for your industry.
Why does my business need a dedicated high-risk merchant account?
Aggregators like Stripe pool merchants together and terminate accounts at the first sign of elevated chargebacks — often without warning and with funds held. A dedicated merchant account gives you your own MID, negotiated reserves, and contractual protections that aggregators don't offer.
How long does onboarding take?
Most Finkarte merchant accounts are approved within 3–5 business days with complete documentation. We'll guide you through every step of the KYC/KYB process.
What industries does Finkarte support?
We specialize in iGaming (online casinos, sportsbooks, poker), forex and CFD brokers, cryptocurrency exchanges and wallets, DeFi platforms, NFT marketplaces, and other regulated high-risk verticals.
What does a rolling reserve mean?
A rolling reserve is a standard risk management tool for high-risk accounts. A percentage of your processing volume (typically 5–10%) is held for 90–180 days as a buffer against future chargebacks, then released on a rolling basis. Rates and terms are agreed upfront in your processing contract.
