Bail bond agencies are flagged high risk by most processors because of large ticket sizes, the nature of the business, and the regulatory environment. Square, Stripe, and PayPal won't touch you. We specialize in bail bond merchant accounts — stable, approved, and set up in 24–48 hours.

Most licensed bail bond agencies get approved through our high-risk acquiring partners. We need your license number, 3 months of bank statements, and basic business docs.
Bail bond rates typically run 3.0%–4.5% depending on volume, chargeback history, and time in business. Higher than standard retail — but stable and without the surprise account freezes.
Yes — card-not-present processing is available. We recommend also having a terminal for in-person payments when families come to the office.
