Gateway Financial
For crowdfunding

Payments tuned for crowdfunding

Operators running Crowdfunding juggle counter, remote, and recurring revenue in the same week. In practice: campaign pledges handled with underwriting.

Operators running Crowdfunding juggle counter, remote, and recurring revenue in the same week. In practice: campaign pledges handled with underwriting built for the model. That gets expensive fast: processing fees taking a bite out of every dollar raised, plus gateway and platform fees stacking on top of processing. Gateway focuses on lower-cost & 0% programs: keep more of every donation with reduced rates and 0% fee programs for qualified organizations. Transparent interchange-plus and a specialist who answers.

  • Fraud and chargebacks on card-not-present orders
  • Declines, frozen funds, or steep reserves from generic processors
  • Processing fees taking a bite out of every dollar raised
  • Statements you cannot actually read or verify
