Processing Terms and Conditions
Our CBD merchant accounts are for
established businesses only with a minimum of 4 months processing.
We will only take new business start-ups when the direct
parent company has processing history operating within the
same sector.
As the type of products
using Hemp and CBD derivatives is vast, you will be required
to provide a full list of products sold and a legal confirmation
that all products are legal in their targeted markets.
MasterCard may require registration of merchants
who operate Hemp and CBD derivatives sites. These Customers
are subject to a "High Risk Registration Fee"
of $500 per year. This fee is payable once the application
has been formally approved and before the account is activated.
IMPORTANT - Please note
that we only set-up processing for businesses who follow
applicable laws and compliance guidelines. Therefore in
order to provide a CBD dedicated account you must adhere
to the following:
- Do not sell any
products that violate the United Kingdom’s Misuse
of Drugs Act 1971
- THC for all products is 0.2% or under
- You are not selling cannabis seeds, MMJ or hemp flowers
- You have a European company of incorporation and sell
only to EU countries
If you are unable to adhere to these terms then we can only
offer you our eCheck
Solution or aggregated
solution

CBD Merchant Account Approval Timescales
Please note that due to the nature of the business and the
underwriting criteria, CBD merchant accounts usually take
a little longer than normal lower risk accounts. Therefore
once we have received your completed application documents
back it takes around 7
- 14 working days to
underwrite, approve and set live your payment processing.
