Do I need payment processing experience?

No. We provide training on our processor network, pricing models, and application process. Many of our most successful agents come from outside the payments industry.

Residual payments are paid monthly. You earn a percentage of the processing revenue generated by every merchant you refer, for the life of the account.

What industries can I place?

Everything from low-risk retail to high-risk verticals like peptides, CBD, forex, and firearms. Our 10+ processor network covers virtually every merchant category.

Can I be a sub-agent or refer other agents?

Yes. Contact us to discuss sub-agent arrangements and referral structures.

How fast are merchant approvals?

Approval timelines vary by industry and risk level. Low-risk merchants are typically approved in 1-3 business days. High-risk merchants typically take 5-10 business days.
