Average boarding time

Everything you need to get paid

One platform for card processing, invoicing, subscriptions, and developer integrations — without stitching three vendors together.

Card processing

Take Visa, Mastercard, Amex, and Discover with PCI-DSS-compliant card fields and 3DS support out of the box.

Invoicing & pay-links

Send branded invoices and reusable payment links by email, SMS, or QR — no developer needed.

Recurring billing

Subscriptions and installment plans with retries, dunning, and proration handled automatically.

Risk & disputes

Real-time fraud scoring, chargeback alerts, and a dispute workflow with evidence templates.

Developer API

Clean REST endpoints, publishable + secret keys, signed webhooks, and an OpenAPI 3 spec for code generation.

Human support

24/7 phone, email, and ticketed support from people who know your account — not an offshore call tree.

Built for the merchants other processors turn down

High-risk verticals, B2B, e-commerce, retail — one platform, no upfront fees, and an underwriter who actually returns your calls.

"We were boarded inside 24 hours after two other processors dragged us along for weeks. Cobalt actually understood our model."
