FAQ

Cryptocurrency payment processing - frequently asked questions

Answers to the questions crypto businesses ask us most about accepting payments, fees and getting approved.

How can I accept payments for my Cryptocurrency business?

We provide omnichannel cryptocurrency payment processing so you can take cards wherever your customers are:

Online: We offer secure gateways to accept card payments for crypto purchases and to let your store accept Bitcoin and other digital assets, with optional instant conversion to fiat.

In person: We support businesses that accept crypto and cards in person with POS tools and card readers.

Over the phone: Our virtual terminals let you process card-funded orders and invoices over the phone.

What are the credit card processing fees for cryptocurrency businesses?

Crypto-related card processing fees typically range from 3% to 5%. Because card-funded crypto purchases are high-risk, rates run above standard retail.

We focus on affordable cryptocurrency payment processing, placing your account with crypto-friendly banks and adding prevention tools to keep your effective cost and your merchant account stable.

What do I need to apply for a cryptocurrency merchant account?

To speed up approval of your cryptocurrency merchant account, gather the following before you apply:

  • Government-issued photo ID
  • Signed merchant application
  • Voided check or bank letter
  • Three months of recent bank statements
  • Three months of prior processing statements (if available)
  • Details about your cryptocurrency business and the products or services you sell

Your website should use an SSL certificate and HTTPS and include your legal business name, contact details, a Privacy Policy, Terms & Conditions, a Refund and Return Policy, and clear pricing so underwriting can approve your account quickly.

Why are cryptocurrency businesses considered high-risk?

Banks classify crypto businesses as high-risk because of irreversible transactions, evolving regulation, AML/KYC requirements and elevated chargebacks on card-funded purchases. A specialized processor matters - we underwrite crypto merchants every day and build in the compliance and protections that keep your account open.

How long does cryptocurrency merchant account approval take?

Most cryptocurrency merchant accounts are approved within 24-48 hours once we have your completed application and supporting documents. Because underwriting for high-risk accounts is more detailed, having clean statements and a compliant website ready is the fastest path to approval.
