Lending businesses we get approved

- Consumer and personal installment lenders
- Short-term and payday lenders
- Auto title and secured lenders
- Merchant cash advance (MCA) providers
- Buy-now-pay-later (BNPL) platforms
- Debt consolidation and debt-relief companies
- Credit-repair and credit-services businesses
Terminated or declined? We specialize in re-banking lenders.
Lending is one of the categories processors drop most often, usually with little warning. If your account has been frozen, closed, or placed on the TMF/MATCH list, that is where our work begins. Daystar works a network of domestic and offshore acquiring banks that knowingly underwrite lending and credit merchants, so a prior termination is an obstacle we solve rather than a permanent mark. Explore our full high-risk merchant account services to see the range of accounts we place.
Lower your cost per transaction
Pair your card processing with eCheck & ACH processing to fund and collect loan payments at a lower cost than cards, and reduce card-related chargebacks on recurring repayments. If part of your business bills other companies, our B2B interchange optimization can cut those costs further through Level 2 and Level 3 data.
Lending & credit payment processing FAQ
Why is lending considered high-risk for payment processing?
Lenders face heavy regulation, higher chargeback and dispute rates, and reputational caution from banks, so mainstream processors often decline or later terminate them. Specialized acquiring banks underwrite the category on purpose — and that is who Daystar places you with.
Can I get a merchant account for a payday or short-term lending business?
Yes. Short-term, payday, and installment lenders are exactly the kind of merchant we place with banks that support the category, along with the gateway, ACH, and recurring-billing tools these businesses depend on.
Do you support recurring loan repayments and ACH?
Yes. We configure recurring card billing and ACH/eCheck so borrowers can repay automatically, which lowers your cost per payment and reduces missed collections.
Can you help after a termination or TMF listing?
Yes — re-banking terminated and TMF/MATCH-listed lenders is a core part of what we do. A prior termination makes approval harder, not impossible.
