We Exist for the Businesses Others Turn Away
High-Risk Payment Processing Since 2011
Every day, legitimate businesses are denied merchant accounts by traditional processors — not because they have done anything wrong, but because their industry falls outside conventional underwriting. Those businesses need a partner who understands them, advocates for them, and has the infrastructure to get them processing. That is what PayKings was built to do.
Kyle Hall
CEO
Kyle has built his over 10 year career around high-risk payment processing and SaaS development, developing a deep understanding of the payment solutions business owners need. In addition to equipping high-risk merchants with payment processing tools for success, he has also founded PulseCRM — a CRM built specifically for the needs of the payment industry. Kyle’s focus has always been on creating practical systems and strategies that help businesses scale, not just in theory, but in practice.
Our Story
More than a decade of building the infrastructure high-risk merchants can rely on.
Founded in 2011 and headquartered in St. Petersburg, Florida, PayKings has spent more than a decade becoming the payment processing partner that high-risk and hard-to-place merchants can rely on. We are not a general-purpose processor that occasionally works with difficult accounts. High-risk payment processing is our core competency, our daily focus, and the standard against which we measure everything we do.
Our team brings a combined experience of 30 years in merchant banking and card industry management. We have processed through regulatory changes, banking shifts, and industry-specific challenges that have caused less experienced processors to exit the market or abandon their merchants mid-contract.
When you work with PayKings, you are working with a company that has seen what can go wrong in high-risk processing and has specifically built its systems, its banking relationships, and its team to make sure it does not happen to your business.
Why PayKings?
There is no shortage of companies willing to take a merchant's application. There is a much shorter list with the banking relationships, underwriting expertise, and operational infrastructure to actually deliver.
Deep Banking Relationships
Over a decade of cultivated partnerships with 20+ acquiring banks gives us placement options that newer processors simply cannot match.
Underwriting Expertise
Our team has processed through regulatory changes, banking shifts, and industry challenges that have caused less experienced processors to exit the market.
Built for High-Risk
High-risk payment processing is our core competency — not an afterthought. Every system, process, and partnership is designed around it.
Dedicated Support
Every merchant gets a dedicated account manager who understands their industry and can advocate for them when issues arise.
