Lower-cost collections with ACH, and a path back after termination
Most collection payments are recurring, and cards are an expensive, dispute-prone way to take them. Pairing card acceptance with eCheck & ACH processing lets you collect payment plans by bank draft at a lower cost and with fewer chargebacks. And if a processor has already dropped your agency or placed you on the TMF/MATCH list, re-banking collection and lending and credit merchants is a core part of our high-risk merchant account services.
Debt collection payment processing FAQ
Can a debt collection agency get a merchant account?
Yes. Debt collection is high-risk because of heavy regulation (FDCPA/CFPB), consumer disputes, and chargebacks, so mainstream processors usually decline it. Daystar places collection agencies with acquiring banks that knowingly underwrite the category, by card and ACH.
Why is debt collection considered high-risk?
Regulatory scrutiny, a higher rate of consumer disputes and chargebacks, and reputational caution from banks all push collection agencies into the high-risk category. The fix is placement with a bank that underwrites collections on purpose, plus tools to keep disputes in range.
Do you support recurring payment plans?
Yes. Most collections are paid over time, so we configure recurring card and ACH billing for payment plans, with retry and card-updater tools that keep scheduled payments from lapsing.
Is ACH better than cards for collections?
Often, yes. ACH bank drafts cost less than cards and carry lower dispute risk, which is why many agencies move recurring payment plans to ACH while keeping cards available.
Can you help after a termination or MATCH listing?
Yes — re-banking terminated and TMF/MATCH-listed collection agencies is a core part of what we do, paired with the dispute-prevention tools to keep the new account healthy.
