Merchant account for Forex companies
Forex (Foreign Exchange Market) brokerage service is a regulated financial activity, but there are still countries in which this type of activity is not regulated. Before opening a merchant account, you need to decide in which countries the company plans to operate and whether or not a license or legal opinion allows it to operate in these countries.
For companies with a European license, the choice of payment providers is quite large, but in the case of unregulated forex, there are significantly fewer options.
Merchant account for casino, bookmarks & lotteries
Gambling is a regulated industry. To open a merchant account, you will need to provide at least a Curacao license. If you do not have a license, we will help you get one.
The Curacao license does not allow operations in European countries and others where a local license is required. This is a low cost solution for startups. In most cases, European acquirers and payment systems can provide services and settle funds only to European companies that do not qualify for the status of shell companies. As a rule, there are two companies in a bundle - a European company and a Curacao company with a license.
A Malta license allows you to work in many European countries. This license is reputable and requires an investment in maintaining the structure and local office.
If you have a European license, we offer a large list of card processors and alternative methods at very low rates.
