Best POS Payment Gateway for High-Risk Merchants

High-risk merchants, such as those operating in adult, gambling and CBD, face unique processing challenges. This is why we’ve built a specialized POS system that makes it easy to manage risk factors associated with these industries.

Secure POS Payment Gateway

Traditional POS systems use basic encryption. We ensure that every swipe, tap, or manual entry routes through multiple security layers while maintaining sub-second processing speeds.

Multi-Bank Network

Most systems rely on a single banking relationship. Our platform is connected to multiple acquirers that understand the needs of high-risk businesses like yours so that you can keep processing without disruptions.

Automated Compliance

High-risk businesses face increased scrutiny from governing bodies. Our system handles age verification, maintains transaction records, and adapts to regulatory changes automatically. Process confidently while meeting requirements across jurisdictions.

Advanced Fraud Prevention

Beyond basic fraud checks, our platform combines AI monitoring with industry-specific tools. Catch suspicious patterns instantly while maintaining high approval rates. Support both card-present and online transactions through unified fraud prevention.

Chargeback Prevention

High-risk retail faces elevated dispute rates. Our system integrates Ethoca alerts with Verifi’s CDRN network to catch issues before they become chargebacks. Maintain your processing status through automated dispute prevention.

Scalable Infrastructure

Traditional POS systems break under high volume. Our infrastructure scales automatically during peak hours. Handle promotional rushes, manage multiple locations, and grow your business without system limitations.

Whether you’re upgrading a legacy system or launching a new solution, our plug‑and‑play integration options allow you to start processing payments quickly without disrupting your existing operations.

What payment methods can my customers pay with?

FastoPayments’ POS gateway is incredibly flexible. You can accept a variety of payment methods, including credit and debit cards, digital wallets, buy-now-pay-later (BNPL) options, and even cryptocurrencies. This wide range of options ensures that your customers can pay in the way that’s most convenient for them, ultimately driving more sales and boosting customer satisfaction.

Does FastoPayments support multi-currency transactions for global businesses?

Yes! FastoPayments enables businesses to accept payments in over 150 currencies, with dynamic currency conversion (DCC) at the point of sale. This allows international customers to pay in their local currency while you receive settlements in your preferred currency. Our system automatically adjusts exchange rates in real time, ensuring transparency and reducing friction for cross-border transactions.

How do your POS systems handle volume spikes?

FastoPayments’ cloud-based infrastructure scales dynamically. During Black Friday, holiday rushes, or promotional events, our system allocates additional server resources to maintain sub-second processing speeds. There are no volume caps, and you’ll never pay surge pricing for high-traffic periods.

Do you offer customer support?

Yes, we grow with your business, so it makes sense that we support you every step of the way.

How fast do funds settle in my account?

FastoPayments offers fast settlements, with most transactions clearing within 24-48 hours

What happens if my internet goes down?

Our POS solutions offer offline transaction support, ensuring you can continue accepting payments even when connectivity is lost. Once the connection is restored, all pending transactions are automatically processed.

Are there long-term contracts or cancellation fees?

No. FastoPayments operates on a month-to-month subscription model with no lock-in contracts. You can cancel anytime without penalties, and we’ll prorate your final invoice if you decide to switch providers.
