Challenges

Why high-risk industries struggle

The biggest hurdles for businesses in regulated and specialised markets.

Blanket Rejection

Many banks and PSPs reject industries like Forex, CBD, or crypto outright — regardless of compliance standing or revenue.

Excessive Fees

Those who do find a provider face mark-ups that seriously strain the business model.

Compliance Complexity

Varying regulatory requirements by country and industry make selection and setup a laborious process.

Single-PSP Dependency

Relying on one provider leaves you exposed. If that provider terminates or fails, your business stops.

Banks and PSPs classify industries as high-risk when chargeback rates, regulatory burden, or reputational risks are above average. This includes Forex trading, crypto, CBD products, and telemedicine.

High-risk industries typically pay slightly higher MDR (merchant discount rates). As an aggregator, Brainpay negotiates better terms than you could secure directly — and ensures you find a provider at all.

Onboarding typically takes 1–2 weeks depending on your industry and documentation. Our team supports you throughout the entire process.
