  • Irwin L.

    Onboarding was fast and smooth. The team was supportive and quick to resolve issues. Even after we were live, Erica kept assisting whenever we had questions. Excellent customer service — and that’s what really matters.

  • Guillermo S.M.

    After Stripe shut us down, CardCorp changed everything. Unlike plug-and-play providers, they gave us insight into acquiring and helped us build multi-bank solutions. I’ve tried many providers since 2011, but CardCorp stands out for reliability and flexibility. If you run an online business, don’t rely on one platform — secure your future with CardCorp.

  • Lucas D.L.

    Working with CardCorp has been a pleasure. The team brings deep payments knowledge and helped us scale without falling into common traps. Their strong ties with acquirers meant we always had the right MID placements. Support is fast and helpful — worth talking to if you’re on the fence.

  • Justin H.

    CardCorp has been a lifesaver! Their easy setup, flexible payment options, and strong security made managing payments simple. With global reach, we handle transactions smoothly wherever we operate. Support is always on point — highly recommend to any business that needs reliable coverage.

Stop begging Stripe. Start building with CardCorp.

Approval is just the start. With CardCorp, you get a partner who sticks around long after you go live.

Frequently asked questions

It’s a merchant account for industries excluded by mainstream acquirers — gambling, adult, crypto, nutra, Forex, and more. With CardCorp, you get a direct MID, not an aggregator pool.

Because they’ll shut you down — sometimes without warning. They don’t support high-risk verticals. CardCorp works only with acquirers that specialise in your industry, so your coverage is built to last.

No. CardCorp focuses on acquirers in the EU and UK. If your business is registered or primarily operating outside these regions, we won’t be able to support you.

We review your case in 24 hours. If your docs are ready, many merchants are approved in just a few days. Complex cases may take longer — but we guide you through every step.

Yes. Unlike aggregators, you get a direct account with your own MID, payouts, and control over your funds.

 Every high-risk merchant faces them. We place you with acquirers who set realistic thresholds and help you manage disputes — so you don’t get shut down after a single spike.

Yes. We follow scheme rules, work only with licensed acquirers, and help you structure your model in a way that regulators and banks will accept.

Gambling, adult, crypto/CASPs, nutraceuticals, subscriptions, Forex, and other edge ecommerce verticals. If mainstream acquirers reject you, we’ve got you.

No — and anyone who says otherwise is lying. But if we take you on, it’s because we’re confident we can get you approved and keep you live.
