When Your Bank
Says No —
We Say Yes.

When Stripe, Square, PayPal, or Shopify Payments shuts you down — Card Group International gets you approved. We specialize in placing merchants that standard processors decline. Direct US merchant accounts are our primary solution, with offshore options available when the situation calls for it.

Direct US Merchant Accounts

Our primary solution is a direct US merchant account — domestic acquiring relationships across multiple risk tiers, matched to your business profile for long-term stability.

MATCH List — We Can Still Help

Been placed on the MATCH list? We work with processors who can consider MATCH merchants with proper due diligence. In many cases we can get you a direct US account — no offshore required.

Chargeback Management

Threshold monitoring, dispute strategy, and mitigation plans that protect your processing relationship.

Offshore Acquiring — When Needed

For merchants where a US account isn't viable, offshore acquiring is available as a secondary option — not our default recommendation.

Rolling Reserve Strategy

We negotiate reserve structures and release timelines on your behalf.

3D Secure Fraud Mitigation

3DS2 authentication available to reduce chargebacks, shift liability, and protect your account standing — especially important for CNP and high-risk merchants.

B2B RUO Peptide Processing &
Compliance Services

RUO peptide vendors need specialized processing expertise — the right compliance posture, the right processor relationships, and the right legal documentation. We provide all three.

Key insight: Compliance posture — your website labeling, disclaimers, and legal documentation — is what determines approval and retention. We audit before we submit, so you go in positioned to succeed.

We offer a complete intake process: compliance audit, site review against FDA totality-of-evidence standards, referrals to biomedical space attorneys for legal opinion letters (only if required), and processor placement with a tiered approval track record.

Request RUO Intake
Consumer → RUO

Currently selling consumer peptides and want to add a compliant RUO product line? We can guide you through the structural and compliance requirements to operate both.

18 Years of Saying Yes
Where Others Don't

Card Group International was founded on the principles of honesty, integrity, and outstanding service. We've built ISO relationships, processor networks, and compliance expertise that most agents simply don't have access to.

We specialize in merchants that standard processors decline — which means everything we know, every relationship we've built, and every system we've developed is optimized for getting difficult accounts approved and keeping them running.

Our expanding focus on compliance and legal services for high-risk vendors — particularly RUO peptide merchants — reflects where the industry is heading: merchants need processing partners who understand regulation, not just rates.
