Method

Where the answers come from

  1. Each processor’s stance comes from its own published prohibited-business list, acceptable-use policy or industry pages; the quote and the source are shown with every line.
  2. “With conditions” means the processor allows the sector only with prior approval, a licence or enhanced review.
  3. The risk notes use the card networks’ published rules: Mastercard’s MATCH list (five-year listing, checked by acquirers at boarding) and the Visa VAMP and Mastercard excessive-chargeback thresholds.
  4. Public policy is only the start. Underwriting also weighs your licence, ownership, processing history, refund and chargeback ratios, and volume.
Questions
Does Stripe accept high-risk businesses?

Stripe publishes a list of prohibited and restricted businesses. Pick your sector above to see what it says about yours, quoted from its own policy with the link.

What happens if I’m on the MATCH list?

Acquirers check MATCH before boarding a merchant and a listing stays for five years, so most processors decline listed merchants. Find out who listed you and under which reason code; some listings can be removed early.

What chargeback ratio is too high?

Visa’s VAMP and Mastercard’s excessive-chargeback programmes flag merchants at 1.5% in most regions, but many acquirers manage their portfolios at 0.5% to 0.7%, so pressure starts well before the network thresholds.

Do processors pay to be listed?

No. The public record is from the processors’ own policies. Our own processing is shown first and labelled as ours.
