High Wire Payments Expands Domestic Banking Network for Alternative-Product Merchants.

High Wire Payments grows its U.S. banking network, adding speed, security, and 24/7 support.

High Wire Payments has expanded its network of U.S. acquiring bank partners in 2025, providing alternative-product merchants with greater reliability, faster approvals, and stronger compliance support. By keeping all settlement and compliance within U.S. banking systems, the company ensures merchants benefit from long-term stability and reduced risk of sudden processor shutdowns.

The expanded banking relationships translate into higher approval ratios, faster underwriting, and more flexible solutions for industries often underserved by mainstream providers. Alternative-product merchants, who frequently face rejections or instability with traditional processors, now gain access to a transparent and reliable path forward.

In addition to banking partnerships, High Wire Payments offers advanced fraud protection and chargeback mitigation tools to keep businesses secure. With multiple integration options—including Shopify plug-and-play, API-based custom checkouts, and compatibility with leading shopping carts—merchants can connect quickly and seamlessly. Retail businesses also benefit from POS terminals, EMV readers, loyalty program integration, and inventory management solutions.

The company’s focus on service extends beyond technology. High Wire Payments provides 24/7 expert support with dedicated human agents, eliminating wait times and chatbots. For high-risk merchants, approvals are typically completed within three to five business days, while low-risk merchants can receive approval in under 24 hours. Businesses previously shut down by Stripe, PayPal, or Square also find a reliable home with High Wire’s recovery solutions.

Transparency remains a core principle. High Wire Payments maintains interchange-plus pricing, low buy-in rates, and a no-contract policy, standing apart from processors that impose arbitrary monthly fees exceeding $100. “High Wire Payments has seen too many merchants hit with flat monthly fees over $100, charges that are often arbitrary and pure profit for the processor,” said Leah Walczuk, Account Manager at High Wire Payments. “We believe in keeping our pricing as close to cost as possible because long-term relationships matter more than a quick buck, and that’s how we do our part to support the industry.”

By combining domestic banking expansion with advanced tools and humanized service, High Wire Payments continues to strengthen its role as a trusted partner for merchants navigating a complex processing environment.
