Reliable Income

Process payments safely without the fear of sudden account freezes or shutdowns that can cripple your cash flow.

Why is it so difficult to get a merchant account for Credit Repair Business?

All merchant account providers consider a credit repair business to be high risk for credit card processing. If you want to accept credit card payments from your clients for "credit repair services" you must have a merchant account for credit repair from a merchant account provider who specializes in these types of accounts.

Why can't I just use my PayPal or other common Gateways to charge my credit repair clients?

PayPal, Stripe and other common gateways cannot be used to charge clients for Credit Repair Services. Credit Repair Services are a violation of their Terms of Use Policy. Their auditors will quickly discover you are violating your agreement and they will ban you.

How long does the approval process take?

The onboarding process with our recommended merchant account providers typically takes between 3 to 7 business days after paperwork submittal. Five Star Processing offers the fastest approval times in the industry.

What's the difference between CRC Billing and a merchant account?

CRC Billing is Credit Repair Cloud's built-in payment processing platform that includes software, billing tools, and client management features. A merchant account is the financial account that allows you to accept credit card payments. CRC Billing works with our recommended merchant account providers or with your existing merchant account (with NMI integration).

What documents do I need to apply for a credit repair merchant account?

Requirements vary by provider, but generally you'll need:

Website or marketing materials

Voided check or bank letter

Government-issued ID or passport

Contract agreement with your clients

3 months of business and/or personal bank statements
