“Can a high-risk-specialist payment processor build a full-service acquiring and disbursement platform that wins merchants that mainstream processors turn away?”
Corepay is a high-risk payment processor and acquiring platform built to serve merchants that mainstream processors decline — including telemedicine, CBD, nutraceuticals, and online wellness. The company differentiates through specialty merchant underwriting, LegitScript certification support, multi-processor routing, and a payout disbursement platform. It positions itself as a full-service acquiring layer with built-in fraud and compliance tooling rather than a generic payment facilitator.
Corepay processes payments through Braintree, Stripe, TSYS, Fiserv, Paysafe, Silverflow, Trust Payments, EPX and 3 others. Disclosed money-movement rails: ACH.
The Embedded Finance Index 2026 maps 2 layers in Corepay's stack: Payments / PSP (Braintree, Stripe, TSYS, Fiserv and 7 others); Money movement (ACH).
