    The Risk-Profile Matching System

    Choose a Payment Provider Based on Risk — Not Marketing

    Most merchant account problems happen because the provider was never built for the business model.

    Our engine analyzes your business risk profile and matches you with payment providers that actually fit.

    What the Engine Evaluates

    We score providers against six dimensions of your business risk profile.

    Industry Risk

    How providers classify your sector and whether it triggers enhanced scrutiny.

    Monthly Volume

    Processing volume determines which providers will underwrite you and at what tier.

    Chargeback Exposure

    Your expected dispute rate determines which providers can tolerate your model.

    Fraud Exposure

    Card-not-present, international, and high-ticket transactions all affect risk scoring.

    Geographic Reach

    Where your customers are changes which acquirers and payment methods are available.

    Business Model

    SaaS, marketplace, ecommerce, and subscription models each carry different risk profiles.

    Example Output

    Here is what a real result looks like for a moderate-risk ecommerce business.
