Who we review
The categories most processors quietly decline.
We focus on verticals that generic processors rejected, deboarded, or never understood — and we work with operators who need a team that already knows the category before the first call.
In plain terms: GHPS reviews lawful cannabis payment processing, CBD payment processing, vape merchant accounts, and other high-risk merchant account requests case by case.

How review works
From application to a real conversation.
No automated approve or decline. Every file is handled by a person who works in cannabis and high-risk merchant categories every day — and who tells you, plainly, what we can and can't do.
The process is built for merchant onboarding: confirm category fit, review business and ownership details, complete AML/KYC checks, then provide clear next steps.

Informational summary · not legal advice
Position
A specialist payment partner for regulated and high-scrutiny industries.
Generic processors classify a dispensary the same way they classify a coffee shop — and react accordingly when categories shift. GHPS is built around the merchants other processors find inconvenient.
The full position paper- 01
Cannabis, CBD, and vape are the work — not a side menu.
Hard-to-place merchants are who we serve every day. Category context is built into how we read your file, not bolted on after approval.
- 02
A real person reviews your account.
Every application is handled by an experienced merchant specialist with a name, a number, and the authority to advance your file.
- 03
Compliance-aware, not compliance theater.
AML, KYC, and category-specific risk reviewed against current expectations — without overstating what we can promise on any single account.
- 04
We tell you when we can't.
If your category, state, or product mix isn't a fit, you'll hear it directly — not after a long pause and a quiet decline.
Operating notice · Applications open
When you're ready, we'll read your file the same day.
A short qualifier confirms whether your category and state fit a current GHPS program. If they do, the full application opens immediately and a specialist follows up — typically within 24–48 hours.
