How It Works

A clear process for every merchant

High-risk approvals are won in the preparation. We control the process from pre-vet to launch.

01

Pre-vet your business

Share your website, processing history and statements. We tell you upfront what the banks will look for — no surprises later.

02

Match you with the right bank

We place your file with an acquiring bank that actually has an appetite for your vertical, and package it for underwriting.

03

Underwriting, fully transparent

We handle the bank's questions and document requests. You always know exactly where your application stands.

04

Launch and stay protected

Go live with a plan for reserves, chargebacks and descriptors — plus a dedicated rep watching your account.

When your business needs another path

Shut down or repeatedly declined? Explore how Centurion approaches difficult placements. These are illustrative scenarios, not customer testimonials or verified outcomes. All placements and final terms are subject to underwriting approval.

Illustrative scenario

A merchant loses card acceptance after its processor changes its risk appetite. Centurion reviews the termination reason, processing history, and business model to assess whether another processing relationship may be a fit.

Processor shut down your account?
Account termination
Illustrative scenario

A legitimate business has been declined by multiple banks because of its industry. Centurion evaluates the underlying risk and looks for an acquirer whose underwriting criteria fit, rather than treating every bank's decline as the end of the road.
