Forex merchant accounts & high-risk payment processing for brokers

Onshore banks decline forex brokers on sight. We place FX and CFD brokers, prop firms and trading platforms with specialist acquirers and PSPs that understand leverage, offshore licensing and multi-currency settlement — so your traders can actually fund their accounts.

Why it's high-risk

Why forex payment processing is classed high-risk

Forex sits in the highest tier of merchant risk. Understanding why is the key to getting — and keeping — approved.

  • High transaction volumes and large-ticket deposits trigger extra scrutiny
  • Elevated chargeback risk when traders lose and dispute funding
  • Complex, fragmented global regulation and offshore licensing
  • Cross-border, multi-currency flows across many jurisdictions
  • Reputational caution from banks around leveraged retail trading

Answers

forex payments — your questions

Can I get a forex merchant account with an offshore licence?

Yes. A large part of our network specifically supports offshore-licensed forex and CFD brokers. We match your licence type and jurisdiction to acquirers whose risk appetite fits, rather than the onshore banks that decline forex by default.

What payment methods can a forex broker accept?

Beyond Visa and Mastercard, we place solutions for local bank transfers, open banking, e-wallets, vouchers and region-specific APMs. Mixing card and alternative methods improves deposit conversion and reduces single-method dependency.

How do you handle chargebacks for forex?

We place you with processors offering 3D Secure, chargeback alerts and representment support, and we design multi-acquirer routing so disputes on one MID don't threaten your whole operation. Keeping under scheme thresholds is central to staying live.

How long does forex broker onboarding take?

Introductions are typically made within 24–72 hours. Underwriting and go-live depend on how complete your company, licensing and processing-history documentation is — usually a few days to a couple of weeks.

Do you cover prop firms and copy-trading platforms?

Yes. We regularly place proprietary trading firms, copy/social-trading platforms and introducing brokers, each of which has its own underwriting nuances we help you navigate.
