How Partnering with GOAT Payments Helps Scale High-Risk Merchant Sales and Expand Offerings

For businesses in high-risk industries, securing reliable and efficient payment processing solutions can be a challenging and often time-consuming process. Traditional banks and payment processors frequently reject merchants in sectors like travel, telemarketing, e-commerce, and nutraceuticals. But for Independent Sales Organizations (ISOs), Payfacs, Fintech SaaS companies, and other industry players, partnering with GOAT Payments can unlock new opportunities for growth, simplify onboarding, and help scale sales faster.

Strategic partnership with GOAT Payments can drive success for merchants in underserved and high-risk verticals. Whether you’re looking to reduce underwriting delays, expand your portfolio, or gain access to a network of over 35 sponsor banks, a partnership with GOAT Payments provides the tools and expertise to help you and your clients thrive.

1. Strategic Partnership for High-Risk Merchant Solutions
   The high-risk merchant space is full of unique challenges—from regulatory hurdles to chargeback risks and compliance issues. Many traditional payment processors aren’t equipped to handle these complexities, and as a result, high-risk merchants often find themselves stuck, unable to secure reliable payment processing solutions. As a partner of GOAT Payments, you can offer your clients in high-risk industries a specialized payment processing solution that understands their unique needs. GOAT Payments brings industry-specific expertise to help businesses in emerging markets such as:
   • Telemarketing and inbound/outbound sales
   • Travel agencies and ticketing services
   • Nutraceuticals and supplements
   • Online gaming and sports betting
   • Debt collection agencies
   • Event management and ticketing services
   • Subscription-based businesses

   Through our deep understanding of these industries, we ensure that the merchants you work with stay compliant with industry regulations while mitigating the risk of chargebacks and fraud. GOAT Payments provides tailored payment solutions that allow businesses to process payments efficiently and securely, regardless of the challenges they face in the high-risk space.

2. Fast Onboarding and Accelerated Underwriting for Your Clients
   One of the biggest roadblocks for high-risk merchants is the lengthy underwriting process. Traditional banks and processors often take weeks or even months to approve accounts, slowing down the ability for merchants to begin accepting payments. Partnering with GOAT Payments means you can offer your clients a faster, more efficient onboarding process. With our dedicated advisory team, we streamline the documentation and underwriting steps, significantly reducing approval timelines. Whether you’re onboarding a new client in the telemarketing space, a travel company, or a debt collection agency, GOAT Payments ensures the process is smooth, quick, and efficient.

   Our industry expertise and strong relationships with over 35 sponsor banks allow us to get high-risk merchants approved quickly, bypassing the long delays typically associated with traditional payment processors. This means that, as an ISO or Payfac, you can onboard new merchants faster, start generating revenue sooner, and reduce the waiting time that often causes frustration for merchants and slows down your business growth.

3. A Flexible Network of Over 35 Sponsor Banks
   One of the most valuable benefits of partnering with GOAT Payments is access to our extensive network of over 35 sponsor banks. This network provides greater flexibility and options when it comes to payment processing solutions for high-risk industries. Unlike many traditional processors that only offer limited options for high-risk merchants, GOAT Payments can connect you with the right banking partner for your merchant’s specific vertical. Whether your clients operate in the telemarketing space, event management, or travel and ticketing, we match them with sponsor banks that best suit their business model, transaction volume, and risk profile.

   By offering access to this broad range of banking partners, GOAT Payments allows you to expand your offerings as a partner, and helps your clients scale into new markets with ease. Whether you are working with ISOs, Wholesale ISOs, Payfacs, or Fintech SaaS companies, our flexible network supports multi-channel payments, international processing, and the ability to handle high-risk accounts, ensuring that your portfolio can expand without limitations.

4. Expanding Your Merchant Portfolio and Offering More to Your Clients
   When you partner with GOAT Payments, you’re not just offering a payment processor—you’re offering a complete solution for high-risk merchants that can help them grow their sales and expand their operations. This gives you the ability to grow your portfolio and offer more diverse solutions to your clients. For ISOs and Payfacs, the ability to offer high-risk merchant solutions opens up new markets that would otherwise be difficult to penetrate. From debt collection and telemarketing to event management and travel, high-risk industries are an untapped goldmine for payment processors who have the right expertise.

   Through our partnership, you can confidently approach these verticals and offer them a full suite of payment processing tools designed specifically for their needs.
