Most FinTech founders treat API applications like simple developer registrations. They're actually business evaluations. Here's what goes wrong and why we succeed where others fail.
You filled out the basic form but missed 15 required documents they don't tell you about. Each rejection makes future applications harder.
They want to see PCI compliance, data encryption standards, and security audits. Your "we take security seriously" doesn't cut it.
Financial APIs want to see you have real banking partnerships, business accounts, and legitimate financial operations before they'll approve you.
We've been through the API approval process 50+ times. We know what each provider wants to see, how to position your application, and which documents make the difference between approval and rejection.

Financial API providers are essentially underwriting your business. They want to see legitimate operations, proper security measures, and compliance documentation. Most applications lack required documentation or don't properly communicate business legitimacy.
With proper preparation, most APIs approve within 7-14 business days. Without preparation, applications can take months or get rejected entirely. We prepare all documentation upfront to minimize approval time.
We have a 95% approval success rate, but if an application is rejected, we work with alternative providers and address the specific issues raised. Our direct relationships often allow us to get rejections reconsidered.
Yes. We set up monitoring systems to track compliance requirements and alert you to any issues. We also provide ongoing support to maintain good standing with all API providers.
Stop wasting time on rejected applications. Let our proven relationships and expertise get you approved quickly and correctly.
