EMV 3DS 2.2MeridAx was built on a simple insight: the best payment outcomes come from having the right bank for each merchant — not one-size-fits-all processing.
Active connections across 180+ countries with in-region expertise in every major market.
Direct relationships with 40+ acquiring banks. Our volume gives you rates you can’t negotiate alone.
Most merchants connected within 72 hours. Card programmes live in 4–8 weeks.
High-risk is our speciality — not our exception. We understand the verticals traditional banks avoid.
To eliminate the barriers that prevent good businesses from accessing reliable, fairly priced payment processing. Every merchant and card issuer deserves a banking connection that works.
We are not a payment processor. We are a specialist intermediary — using our deep banking network, negotiating power, and payment expertise to connect clients to the right processing partner.
Transparency in everything. We will never recommend a banking partner that isn’t right for your business. We will never charge fees we haven’t disclosed.
MeridAx has built the banking relationships that let us say yes where others say no.
40+ acquiring bank relationships globally. Right partner for your vertical, volume, and geography — connected fast.
Aggregated volume gives us genuine pricing leverage. We consistently negotiate MDR rates below what merchants achieve directly.
Gaming, crypto, nutraceuticals, adult, firearms, forex — we have the underwriting and monitoring infrastructure to serve these verticals properly.
Connect once and access our entire global network. Adding redundancy or entering new markets requires no re-integration.
Whether launching a new card programme or migrating infrastructure, MeridAx removes the complexity and delivers results in weeks.
Our established processor and BIN sponsor connections get card programmes live in weeks versus the 12–18 months needed to build direct scheme relationships.
Switching, tokenisation, 3DS ACS, clearing, settlement — single MeridAx connection. No fragmented vendor management.
Credit, debit, prepaid, virtual, and co-badge across Visa, Mastercard, UnionPay, and local networks.
Deep regulatory and processor knowledge in the markets where scheme relationships are most complex to build independently.
