How it works

A simple free review for complex merchant accounts.

You share the business basics. MerchantBridge reviews the payment challenge. If there is a realistic path forward, we help you understand the next step and possible partner route.

Process

From payment problem to next step.

  1. Share the business basics

    Share the business, website, country, vertical, age, monthly volume, and current processor situation.

  2. We review the payment challenge

    We look at category risk, website language, volume, history, geography, checkout needs, and partner appetite.

  3. You get a clearer direction

    We explain which paths may be worth exploring, such as card processing, ACH/eCheck, domestic acquiring, or international acquiring.

  4. We help prepare the next step

    If the facts support referral, we help organize the profile, risk context, and documentation path.

  5. Move to partner review

    Qualified opportunities may be introduced to the appropriate payment relationship for formal review.

Your inquiry and follow-up

What to expect when you submit.

The initial inquiry does not require a document package. You can provide more detail after the first submission.

  1. Send your initial inquiry

    Share your contact details and business basics in the short processing review form.

  2. Complete your processing profile

    Use the personal link in your email to add payment requirements, settlement preferences and operating details.

  3. Provide documents if requested

    If supporting documents are needed, we send a private upload link. Do not email sensitive documents or include patient records.

  4. Explore potential partners

    We review the complete business profile and arrange an introduction when appropriate. The partner determines approval and terms.

For ISOs & agents

Have a merchant you need help placing?

Start with your own contact details and a brief overview of the opportunity. You do not need to submit a full merchant application or share the merchant's contact information to begin.

  1. Tell us about the opportunity

    Share your firm, the merchant's industry, operating country and processing needs, or ask about an ongoing referral relationship.

  2. Discuss potential options

    We review the business profile and explore relevant acquiring relationships. Availability depends on the category, geography and partner requirements.

  3. Agree the next step

    Before an introduction, discuss what information may be shared, who will communicate with the merchant and any applicable referral terms. Partnership terms vary by opportunity.

Share third-party information only with permission. Do not include sensitive documents in your initial inquiry.
