High-risk merchant accounts
These are the ISOs, brokers and introducers who process no cards themselves. They take an adult business's application to an acquiring bank willing to underwrite it and get a merchant account opened in the operator's own name. That suits a paysite or store with enough volume to want its own descriptor and direct settlement. The questions that separate them are whether the firm underwrites in-house or only places files with partner banks, what the application asks for (incorporation papers, processing history, a refund policy), and how reserves and monthly statements are handled once the account is live. 2Accept is a registered ISO with an adult underwriter, Daystar Payments places adult merchants with partner banks, and Delicato and FirmEU state they only make introductions and hold no payment license.
