Forex Payments That Actually Work

We know which acquirers understand CFD brokers - and which ones to avoid.

The Challenge

MCC 6211 restrictions

The securities dealer MCC is heavily scrutinized. Many acquirers won't touch it or have strict volume limits.

Account terminations

Banks hate forex. Random terminations happen even with clean histories. You need backup options.

Deposit/withdrawal complexity

Traders expect instant deposits and fast withdrawals. Payment flows need to support this.

Multi-currency requirements

Global trader base means supporting 20+ currencies efficiently without excessive FX fees.

Client fund segregation

Regulatory requirements for segregated client funds add complexity to payment flows.

Regulatory scrutiny

FCA, CySEC, ASIC - regulators are watching closely. Your PSP needs to understand compliance.

Our Approach

Regulated brokers only

We focus on properly licensed brokers. This gives you access to better PSPs and better rates.

PSPs with forex appetite

We work with acquirers who understand CFD brokers and have appetite for the vertical.

Multi-rail solutions

Cards, bank transfers, crypto - we help you build a payment stack that serves your trader base.

Withdrawal automation

Fast payouts matter. We connect you with PSPs that support automated withdrawals.

Chargeback prevention

Forex has high chargeback risk. We help you implement prevention tools before they become a problem.

Backup acquirer strategy

Don't get caught with one PSP. We help you set up redundancy so a termination doesn't kill your business.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which regulators do you work with?

We work with brokers regulated by FCA, CySEC, ASIC, FSCA, DFSA, and other major regulators. Offshore licenses (SVG, Vanuatu) are harder to place but not impossible.

Can you help with deposit success rates?

Yes. We can connect you with PSPs that offer local payment methods, smart routing, and retry logic to improve deposit success.

What about crypto deposits/withdrawals?

We have PSP partners that support crypto on-ramps and off-ramps for regulated brokers. This is increasingly important for trader acquisition.

How do you handle client fund segregation?

We work with PSPs that understand regulatory requirements for segregated accounts and can support compliant payment flows.

What's typical chargeback rate for forex?

Industry average is 1-3%, but well-run brokers can achieve under 1%. We help you implement prevention measures to stay in the safe zone.
