Industries

Built for businesses
others reject

Legal businesses in high-risk verticals face rejection rates above 70%. AUROCH was built to change that — connecting you with processors that understand your industry and actually want your business.

Cannabis & Hemp

92% rejected

Licensed dispensaries, cultivators, delivery services, and ancillary businesses across legal markets. Despite full state legalization in many jurisdictions, cannabis remains one of the hardest industries to get payment processing.

Why processors reject this vertical

Federal banking restrictions
High chargeback expectations from acquirers
Compliance with state-by-state regulations
Limited processor options drive up rates
Get matched for cannabis

Peptides & Research Chemicals

87% rejected

Research chemical suppliers, peptide companies, compounding pharmacies, and nootropic retailers. Processors flag these businesses due to perceived regulatory risk, even when products are fully legal.

Why processors reject this vertical

Guilt-by-association with controlled substances
Complex FDA classification landscape
Age verification requirements
International shipping compliance
Get matched for peptides

CBD & Supplements

78% rejected

CBD retailers, nutraceutical brands, dietary supplement companies, and wellness products. Post-Farm Bill, CBD is federally legal — but most processors still treat it as high-risk.

Why processors reject this vertical

Constantly shifting regulatory guidance
Health claim restrictions from FTC/FDA
Payment network rules lag behind legislation
High marketing scrutiny from acquirers
Get matched for cbd

Firearms & Ammunition

85% rejected

Licensed FFL dealers, ammunition retailers, firearms accessories, and shooting sports businesses. Fully legal under federal and state law, yet increasingly debanked by mainstream processors.

Why processors reject this vertical

Operation Chokepoint legacy effects
Political pressure on payment networks
Enhanced due diligence requirements
Restricted by many mainstream acquirers
Get matched for firearms

Online Gaming & Sweepstakes

90% rejected

Skill gaming platforms, sweepstakes casinos, fantasy sports operators, and iGaming companies. Complex and varied state-by-state legality makes this one of the most processor-challenging verticals.

Why processors reject this vertical

State-by-state licensing complexity
Gambling vs. skill game classification
High chargeback rates in the vertical
KYC and age verification mandates
Get matched for online

Travel & Ticketing

72% rejected

Travel agencies, tour operators, event ticketing platforms, and timeshare resellers. The gap between purchase and fulfillment creates high chargeback risk in processors' eyes.

Why processors reject this vertical

Long fulfillment windows increase dispute risk
Refund and cancellation exposure
Seasonal volume fluctuations
Cross-border transaction complexity
Get matched for travel
