Editorial Standards & Mission
Our Mandate
HighRiskPayments.news was founded to close the intelligence gap between merchant banks and the high-risk operators who rely on them. We do not publish press releases; we publish data, compliance warnings, and technical analysis for the “grey market” economy.
Why We Exist
The high-risk payment landscape is opaque by design. Payment processors change rules overnight. Card networks update chargeback thresholds without warning. Merchants in sectors like Kratom, Nutraceuticals, and iGaming are often the last to know.
We are not just journalists. We are payment engineers, compliance officers, and developers who have built the checkout flows that power this industry.
The Technical Desk
Lead Payment ArchitectSpecializes in custom checkout flows, anti-fraud triangulation, and “Phase 2” compliance scanning. Responsible for our technical deep dives and platform audits.
The Compliance Desk
Regulatory AnalystTracks state-level legislation changes (Ban Bills) and Card Network rule updates. Focuses on banking relationships and TMF mitigation strategies.
Disclosure: While we maintain strict editorial independence, HighRiskPayments.news may maintain referral relationships with specific vetted banking partners and technology providers mentioned in our coverage. These relationships never influence our compliance data.
