# PaymentCloud

A high-risk merchant account provider selling payment processing for businesses that traditional processors decline.

**Route:** surfaced by the online payment acceptance lane's de-branded queries → competitor to stripe.com.

**Why it's on the map:** Sells the same payment-acceptance capability to the same hard-to-place merchants that would evaluate Stripe and be turned away, offering what Stripe does not: approval for high-risk industries.

**Receipts** (verbatim from its page this run):

> PaymentCloud powers high-risk businesses with dedicated merchant accounts, fast approvals, and guaranteed funds access.

> Trusted by Fortune 100 companies and thousands of hard-to-place businesses nationwide

> The #1 Choice for High-Risk Merchant Services in the U.S.
