The takeB
Corepay is a genuinely mixed case. On one side: multi-region direct acquiring, 135+ currencies, next-day US funding, and an unusually complete chargeback stack for a boutique. On the other: no published rates, a $99+ monthly floor plus a $1,000 annual account fee, undisclosed contract terms, and a public track record of just 13 Trustpilot reviews. For the right card-not-present merchant it can earn its keep; everyone else should make Corepay prove the math first.
Skip if you
Run a small or low-risk business where a $99+ monthly fee and $1,000 annual account fee swamp the benefit, need EBT acceptance, want published pricing before talking to sales, or require a deep, verifiable review history before trusting a processor with your cash flow.

What makes them different
The genuine differentiator
The combination of multi-region direct acquiring — US, EU, UK, and Australia, 30+ countries, 135+ currencies — with an in-house gateway and pre-dispute chargeback integrations across Ethoca, Verifi, and RDR. Most boutique high-risk shops resell one domestic bank and bolt on third-party dispute tools; Corepay's stack is unusually vertically integrated for its size.

Pricing details
How Corepay pricing works
Corepay does not publish processing rates. Like most high-risk specialists, it quotes each merchant during underwriting based on vertical, region, chargeback exposure, and volume, and the site's savings calculator requires submitting your data before any number appears. What sets the cost structure apart from quote-only peers is the fixed overhead that is known: a monthly fee floor and an annual account fee that a quote cannot make disappear.
Known and reported costs
- Processing rates: not disclosed; quoted per merchant at underwriting
- Monthly fee: low-risk accounts starting at $99
- Annual account fee: $1,000
- Setup fees: none
- Chargeback, PCI, statement, and early termination fees: not disclosed
The fixed fees change the math
A $99 monthly floor plus a $1,000 annual account fee is roughly $2,200 a year before a single transaction is processed. For a merchant clearing $100K a month in a vertical no one else will board, that is noise; for a small store it can exceed the entire cost difference between competing quotes. Model your effective all-in rate at your real volume — including these fixed fees — rather than comparing quoted percentages alone.
Funding and international settlement
Standard payouts run 1 to 5 days depending on region and risk profile, and Corepay advertises next-day funding for US accounts. Settlement is available in GBP for UK merchants and across the EU under PSD2, with 135+ currencies accepted — genuine breadth for a boutique, and the main reason a US merchant with European customers would shortlist Corepay over a domestic-only specialist.
What to pin down before you sign
Contract length, early termination fees, and reserve policies are all undisclosed, and the public review record is too thin to fill the gap. Before signing, get in writing: the full fee schedule including the annual account fee and every per-incident charge, the contract term and exit cost, any rolling reserve and its release schedule, and your exact funding timeline for each region you settle in. Ask for merchant references in your own vertical — with 13 public reviews, they are the diligence the internet cannot do for you.
