The problem

Why debt settlement companies struggle to keep processors

Debt settlement companies — both business and consumer — are routinely flagged as high-risk by mainstream processors. The combination of large transaction sizes, delayed service delivery, and chargeback exposure makes Stripe, Square, and most banks unwilling to work with you.

The result is unstable processing, sudden account terminations, and cash flow disruptions at the worst possible times. GoACH was built for exactly this situation. We work with underwriters who understand the debt settlement model and have built compliance frameworks specifically around your industry.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Can debt settlement companies get ACH processing?
Yes — but not through mainstream processors. Debt settlement is classified as high-risk due to chargeback exposure and regulatory scrutiny. GoACH works with specialized underwriters who have experience placing debt settlement accounts and keeping them stable long-term.

Why is ACH better than credit cards for debt settlement?
ACH fees are significantly lower than card interchange rates, which matters when you’re processing recurring monthly fees or large settlement disbursements. ACH also integrates more cleanly with the billing models most debt settlement companies use.

Do you support both business and consumer debt settlement?
Yes. Whether you’re negotiating commercial debt on behalf of small businesses or collecting program fees from consumer clients, GoACH can structure an ACH solution that fits your billing model and compliance requirements.

How long does approval take?
Most debt settlement accounts are approved within 3–5 business days. We’ll need standard business documentation, a description of your billing model, and processing history if available. We’ll guide you through everything when you apply.

What if I’ve been terminated by another processor?
We work with many debt settlement companies that have been dropped by Stripe, Square, or other mainstream processors. Contact us to discuss your history — we’ll give you an honest assessment of your options.
