Banking-as-a-Service & dedicated IBANs for high-risk merchants

Approved processing is worthless if the money can't land anywhere. We place high-risk merchants with Banking-as-a-Service and EMI partners for dedicated IBANs, named safeguarding and embedded finance — the banking layer that FX, crypto, iGaming and adult businesses are constantly denied by traditional banks.

Why it's high-risk

Why high-risk merchants turn to BaaS

Banking-as-a-Service lets non-banks offer bank-grade accounts through licensed EMIs and BaaS providers — a lifeline when traditional banks de-risk your sector.

  • Traditional banks close or refuse high-risk business accounts
  • You need dedicated IBANs to send and receive at scale
  • Multi-currency accounts reduce FX cost on cross-border flows
  • Safeguarding and segregation protect client and settlement funds
  • Embedded finance lets you offer accounts to your own users

Answers

BaaS payments — your questions

What is Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS)?

Banking-as-a-Service lets businesses access banking functions — accounts, IBANs, payments, card issuing — through licensed EMIs and BaaS providers, usually via API. It's how non-banks and high-risk merchants get bank-grade functionality without holding a banking licence themselves.

Why is a dedicated IBAN important?

A dedicated IBAN in your company's name lets you send and receive funds reliably, reconcile payments cleanly, and present a stable banking identity to partners and acquirers. Shared or pooled IBANs cause reconciliation and trust problems, especially at scale.

Can high-risk businesses actually get BaaS accounts?

Yes, with the right partner. Many EMIs and BaaS providers will serve FX, crypto, iGaming and adult businesses that traditional banks reject — provided KYC, AML and safeguarding requirements are met. We match your profile to providers with the right risk appetite.

What is safeguarding and why does it matter?

Safeguarding means an EMI keeps customer and settlement funds in segregated accounts, separate from its own money, so those funds are protected if the provider fails. For high-risk merchants moving large volumes, named safeguarding is an important protection to look for.

Can I offer accounts to my own customers?

Yes — that's embedded finance. Through BaaS APIs you can issue IBANs, wallets or cards to your own users under your brand. We place providers that support embedded programmes suited to your vertical and volume.
