Do you work with offshore brokers?

Yes — including SVG, Mauritius, Vanuatu, and Comoros-registered structures, subject to acquirer policy and customer-geography review.

Will I have to enforce 3DS 2.0 on every transaction?

For most placements, yes. It's the single biggest lever for reducing forex chargebacks.

Can you process prop-firm challenge fees?

Yes — and these are often easier to underwrite than live trading deposits since the product is a service fee, not leveraged trading.

What about US customers?

We can place merchants whose business models comply with relevant US regulations. We don't place businesses targeting US retail customers without NFA registration.

Will you process for unregulated brokers?

Sometimes, on offshore acquirers, with higher reserves and stricter underwriting. Talk to your underwriter about your specific structure.

What about high-ticket VIP deposits?

Yes. We can split processing across MIDs so VIP volume doesn't put your retail account at risk.

Do you support multi-currency deposits?

Yes — settlement in USD, EUR, GBP, and major currencies depending on acquirer.

Can you help me after a previous termination?

We can't reverse another processor's decision, but we can often place you on a new acquirer with proper structuring.

The Challenge

Why Forex & Trading is Considered High-Risk

Leveraged Products and Dispute Exposure

Highly leveraged products can lead to customer disputes when trades go against them, often triggering friendly-fraud chargebacks after losing positions.

Cross-Border Customer Bases

Forex merchants serve customers across dozens of jurisdictions, each with different chargeback rules and consumer-protection frameworks.

Regulatory Variation

The regulatory map for forex varies wildly — FCA, CySEC, ASIC, FSA, SVG, Mauritius — and most acquirers don't know how to evaluate what they're looking at.

Prop Firm Challenge Fees

The proliferation of prop firms charging upfront challenge fees creates a new underwriting category that most acquirers haven't built policies for.

Chargeback Rates in Forex & Trading

Typical industry rate: 1.0% – 2.5%

Forex and prop-firm merchants commonly see chargeback ratios of 1.0%–2.5% — often triggered by customers attempting to claw back losses. BoazPay deploys 3DS 2.0 enforcement, IP and device pattern matching, mandatory KYC at funding, clear deposit/withdrawal terms in the customer agreement, real-time chargeback alerts, and dedicated representment support for high-volume disputes.

How to Keep Your Rate Low:

Enforce 3DS 2.0 on every deposit — it is the single biggest lever for reducing forex chargebacks
Require mandatory KYC before accepting the first deposit
Include clear deposit, withdrawal, and risk disclosure terms in your customer agreement
Use real-time pre-dispute alerts to resolve issues before they become formal chargebacks

Required Documents

Government-issued ID for each 20%+ owner
Voided check or bank letter for settlement
Three months of processing statements (if applicable)
Business formation documents and EIN/equivalent
Regulatory registration documents (CySEC, FCA, ASIC, FSA, FSC, etc., where applicable)
Customer agreement, risk disclosure, and withdrawal policy
AML/KYC program documentation
Working URL with terms, privacy, complaints procedure, and visible contact information

Approval Timeline

Most forex applications are decisioned within 3–7 business days. Regulated brokers move faster than unregulated structures. Offshore placements often complete in under a week.

Indicative Rate Range

Typical forex discount rates range from 4.95% to 8.95% plus $0.25–$0.55 per transaction, with rolling reserves of 7.5%–15% held for the first 6 months on new accounts. Prop-firm challenge fees, which have lower chargeback exposure, sometimes qualify for more competitive pricing.
