Every case is different. Here are a selection of how we have helped high-risk businesses get banked — with honest detail about the challenge and the outcome.
A Malta-licensed casino operator had been rejected by 4 banks over 3 months. Their MGA licence was in order, but their corporate structure included a BVI holding company that triggered automatic rejections.
We identified two institutions in our network that specifically accept MGA-licensed operators with offshore holding structures. We repackaged the corporate documentation and made a warm introduction.
Account live in 7 business days. Multi-currency IBAN (EUR, GBP, USD). Full SEPA and SWIFT access.
“After four rejections and three months of back-and-forth, GetBanked had us operational in a week. Completely transparent throughout.”
A new crypto exchange with a Lithuanian VASP registration needed banking before their public launch. They had no banking history and needed multi-currency capability.
Our pre-approval assessment identified 3 viable institutions. Within 48 hours of submission, we presented a shortlist with full fee transparency. The client chose the option with the best API integration.
3 banking options within 48 hours of pre-approval. Account live in 9 business days. Full API access for automated reconciliation.
“We'd been turned away by five banks before. GetBanked told us exactly what was possible — and delivered. The exchange has been running smoothly since.”
A CySEC-regulated FX brokerage needed a Tier-1 bank for client segregated funds. Their previous provider had exited the market, leaving them with a 30-day window to find a replacement.
We matched the brokerage with a Tier-1 institution that specifically serves regulated FX brokers in Cyprus. We expedited the KYB process by pre-reviewing documentation and managing the relationship directly.
Tier-1 bank account live in 7 business days. Client money segregation fully compliant. 30-day deadline met with a week to spare.
“The pricing page alone made me trust these guys — nobody else publishes fees. We were banked faster than I thought possible.”
A UK-registered adult entertainment platform had been rejected by every mainstream bank and several EMIs. Their compliance documentation was complete, but no institution would onboard them.
We identified a specialist EMI with a clear and transparent policy for adult entertainment businesses. We facilitated a warm introduction with full documentation support.
EMI account live in 8 business days. Card payments and SEPA transfers enabled. Full compliance maintained.
“No judgement, complete professionalism. They found an institution that understood our business model. Exactly what we needed.”
A Lithuanian-registered PSP with a PI licence was being declined by every major bank. Their aggregator model was flagged as high-risk despite clean transaction history and solid compliance infrastructure.
We presented two EMI partners from our network with direct experience onboarding PSPs at this volume tier. We pre-reviewed their compliance framework and coached the team on how to position their transaction monitoring system to the institution.
EMI account live in 11 business days. Full card acquiring activated within 3 weeks. SEPA and SWIFT enabled from day one.
“We had a PI licence and clean books — and still got rejected everywhere. GetBanked understood exactly why and fixed it. We've been processing without issues since.”
An international holding company incorporated in the Seychelles needed a business account to receive management fees and make intercompany payments. Every bank they approached declined at the first mention of the jurisdiction.
We matched the structure with a Georgia-based regulated bank that has a documented policy for Seychelles entities with legitimate business activity. We prepared the full UBO chain, purpose of account documentation, and source of funds evidence.
Business account live in 12 business days. Multi-currency (EUR, USD). SWIFT access for international payments.
“Eight banks said no before we found GetBanked. They knew exactly which institution to approach and how to present the structure. Straightforward from there.”
A UK-based OTA had their merchant account closed twice in 12 months — once after a chargeback spike during a travel disruption, and once during a routine review. They were processing £800K/month and had no viable alternative.
We identified a specialist payment processor with deep experience in the travel vertical, including explicit policies for chargeback ratios during force majeure events. We structured the application around their rolling reserve model to give the processor comfort.
New merchant account live in 8 business days. Card acquiring fully operational with rolling reserve agreement. Chargeback management support included.
“Two closures in a year nearly ended the business. GetBanked found a processor who actually understood travel seasonality and chargeback cycles. Total lifeline.”
A Netherlands-based CBD brand was launching direct-to-consumer sales across Europe but had zero banking relationships. Every bank cited regulatory uncertainty around CBD classification, despite the product being fully legal and lab-certified.
We pinpointed two EMIs with written internal policies approving EU-compliant CBD brands. We prepared a documentation pack that included lab certificates, THC content compliance, and a clear explanation of the regulatory framework — removing every objection before the application was submitted.
EMI account live in 9 business days. Card payments and SEPA transfers activated. European e-commerce launch proceeded on schedule.
“Every bank told us CBD was too complicated. GetBanked explained exactly why and had us banked before our launch date. The documentation pack they prepared was worth it alone.”
