Dating platforms
Mainstream and casual dating acquiring with retention-grade subscription tooling.
Overview
Whether mainstream matchmaking or casual platforms, we provide subscription-grade acquiring with smart retries, refund management, and bot-flag controls that protect your processing reputation.
What's included
Underwriting documents
A closer look
Friendly-fraud is endemic to the vertical: cardholders dispute charges to avoid awkward statements, or to retain plausible deniability with a partner. Our risk model treats this as a feature of the segment, not a flaw — descriptors, billing cadence and refund policy are all tuned around it.
Bot-driven conversion can lift short-term revenue but destroys MID health. We require documented bot-detection and live-user verification before underwriting and re-audit periodically.
Pre-checkout consent capture, double-opt-in renewal email, and one-click cancellation are required by Mastercard's subscription billing rules and the FTC. Our checkout templates ship compliant out of the box.
Banking partners
EEA and UK acquirers experienced with dating MCCs; specialist acquirers for casual / adult-adjacent platforms.
Regulatory backdrop
EU DSA, UK Online Safety Act, FTC ROSCA, Mastercard subscription-billing rules, Visa GBPP for high-CB merchants.
