Payment Processing for Short-Term Lender Businesses

PayDiverse provides merchant account underwriting and payment processing infrastructure for licensed short-term lending businesses operating under applicable state and federal regulations.

PayDiverse is not a lender. We do not originate, service, or collect on consumer loans. We provide B2B payment processing infrastructure to registered lending businesses.

Specialized processing for licensed lenders

Short-term lending merchants operate under MCC 6051 / 6012 and are declined by most standard acquirers due to elevated chargeback ratios and ACH return rates. PayDiverse maintains sponsor bank relationships that underwrite this MCC.
