Why can’t I just use PayPal, Stripe, or Square?▾
These processors explicitly prohibit credit repair services in their terms of service. Once they detect your business type — and they will — your account will be terminated and your funds may be held for up to 180 days. Using a specialized high-risk processor protects your business from day one.
Why is credit repair considered “high-risk”?▾
Payment networks classify credit repair as high-risk due to higher-than-average chargeback rates in the industry and regulatory scrutiny. This doesn’t reflect on your business — it’s an industry-wide classification. Specialized processors like eCrypt understand this and are built to serve credit repair companies reliably.
How long does the approval process take?▾
eCrypt typically approves applications within 3–7 business days after receiving your paperwork. You’ll need your business website or marketing materials, a voided check or bank letter, government-issued ID, your client service agreement, and 3 months of bank statements.
What documents are needed to apply?▾
To get started, you’ll need: your business website or marketing materials, a voided check or bank letter, a government-issued photo ID or passport, your client contract/service agreement, and 3 months of business or personal bank statements.
I already have a merchant account. Do I need to switch?▾
Not at all. If your current processor supports Authorize.net as a gateway, you can connect it directly to WhiteLabelCRO. Our platform integrates with Authorize.net for payment processing, recurring billing, and client portal payments. No need to change processors.
What’s the difference between a merchant account and a payment gateway?▾
A merchant account is the financial relationship that allows you to accept credit card payments. A payment gateway (like Authorize.net) is the technology that securely transmits transaction data between your software and the merchant account. You need both — eCrypt provides the merchant account, and Authorize.net (or a compatible gateway) connects it to WhiteLabelCRO.
