Merchant accounts for private jet charter operators and brokers, built for high-ticket bookings, international clients, and deposits paid well before departure. Apply with confidence.
Private jet charter is classified as high risk because of very large tickets, future-delivery bookings, and cancellations tied to weather, maintenance, or client changes. Many processors cap volume or hold funds. As a high risk merchant account provider, Daystar places charter operators, brokers, and jet card programs with acquiring banks that understand aviation and approve realistic single-transaction limits.
Your clients often book within hours of departure, pay from overseas, and expect a smooth, private checkout. We set you up with card, ACH, and multi-currency acceptance, plus fraud and chargeback tools suited to high-value travel. We have a 95% approval rate among qualified applicants, most decisions arrive within 24 hours, and there are no long-term contracts.
Accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and other major cards for charter deposits, full flight payments, and add-ons such as catering and ground transport. We request single-transaction and monthly limits that fit five- and six-figure bookings, and 3D Secure, address verification, and fraud screening help protect card-not-present payments from stolen-card attempts.


A secure payment gateway and virtual terminal let your charter team send payment links with quotes and process cards during a call. Tokenization supports future charges for repeat clients and jet card holders, and every payment can be tied to a trip number so signed charter agreements and flight records are easy to produce in a dispute.
Take payments on a phone or tablet at the FBO, on the ramp, or at client meetings. Card-present payments with a signed agreement carry lower dispute risk, and mobile acceptance lets crews collect for last-minute changes, extra hours, or ground services before the client departs, all settling to the same merchant account.

Many charter clients, family offices, and corporate travel departments prefer to pay by bank transfer. ACH and eCheck lower the cost of processing large flight payments compared with cards and give clients a familiar option for invoiced trips. You can offer card and ACH side by side on the same payment link.

Recurring billing supports jet card programs, membership fees, and fractional or block-hour plans with scheduled charges and automatic retries. Clear billing schedules and pre-charge notices help members understand what they are paying for, which reduces the disputes that can arise with high-value recurring charges. Membership terms should state what is refundable.

Charter clients and routes are international. Multi-currency processing lets you quote and charge in the client’s currency, and domestic and offshore acquiring options support operators and brokers with clients in Europe, Latin America, and beyond. Local-currency pricing reduces cross-border declines on large payments. This is jet charter payment processing built for cross-border travel.

Underwriters usually ask about your operating certificate or, for brokers, the operators you contract with, your typical booking lead time, deposit and cancellation terms, average and maximum ticket size, and how refunds are handled if a flight does not operate. Clear charter agreements and a defined cancellation policy help support higher processing limits.
Large single transactions, payment well before the flight takes place, and cancellations outside the client’s control create future-delivery risk for banks, which is why many processors limit or decline charter merchants.
We request processing limits that reflect your real ticket sizes. Approved limits depend on underwriting, your processing history, and your financials, and ACH is available for the largest payments.
