Gateway
Traders expect to fund their accounts instantly with credit and debit cards. Our gateway accepts card deposits from customers worldwide, applies encryption and tokenization to every payment, and routes approved transactions directly into your high-risk forex merchant account.
Slow withdrawals are the fastest way to lose a trader. PayKings supports payout and withdrawal workflows with next-day funding available, so you can return funds quickly and make withdrawal speed a selling point instead of a support headache.
Forex is global by definition. Our gateway processes transactions across multiple currencies, letting traders fund their accounts in the currency they already hold.
Each deposit is screened before it reaches your account. Velocity checks, card verification, and risk scoring flag stolen-card funding and friendly fraud early — before they become chargebacks that threaten your merchant account.
Card networks and acquiring banks also expect brokers to verify trader identities and monitor for money laundering. A payment gateway for forex brokers should reinforce those KYC and AML programs rather than conflict with them, and our team helps you present your compliance procedures the way underwriters want to see them.
Forex is one of several trading verticals we underwrite. If your platform also handles digital assets, our cryptocurrency merchant account solutions extend the same high-risk expertise to crypto trading businesses.
Choosing a gateway
Accept deposits in the currencies your traders actually use, without bolting on third-party conversion tools.
Fraud screening, chargeback alerts, and dispute support built into the gateway — not sold as optional extras after your ratios climb.
Trader payouts with next-day funding available. Withdrawal speed is a competitive feature for brokers, and your processor should treat it that way.
PayKings works with more than 20 banking partners, so one bank changing its risk policy never takes your forex merchant account offline.
Guidance on KYC, AML, and card-network rules for currency trading, from underwriting teams that already know the vertical.
Developer-friendly APIs and gateway integrations that connect to your trading platform, CRM, and back office without months of custom work.
How it works
A trader funds their account with a credit or debit card on your platform, in whichever currency they hold.
The forex payment gateway encrypts the card data, runs fraud screening, and requests authorization from the issuing bank in seconds.
Approved deposits batch into your forex merchant account — the merchant ID (MID) underwritten specifically for currency trading.
Settled funds transfer to your business bank account, with next-day funding available, while trader withdrawals flow back out through payout workflows.
The high-risk MID is the piece most brokers discover too late. Mainstream processors classify forex among the high-risk processing industries they routinely freeze or offboard, often after months of volume have built up. A merchant account underwritten for forex prices that risk in upfront, so your processing does not stop the day a risk team reviews your business.
